simple Theme for eReader (eInk-Display) #194

Closed Mae72DE closed 1 year ago

Mae72DE commented 1 year ago

I like to use the Editor to write on my Meebook P78 (Q78 Android 11) but can't see all Symbols/Buttons on upper line. I miss a real simple Theme for eInk-Screen for the modern eInk-Tablets (Android-NoteTakingDevices/PDAs). Can I define my own Theme?

To add or change a theme you would have to fork this repo and build your own version. The toolbar in the android standard themes and the custom themes in this app is white icons/text on very dark grey. To change the action bar (toolbar) style you need to dive deeper into the style system as in my Crossword app.

Would a theme like this work better?

I think most eInk-Screens will just use 15 Gray-Scale Levels - even if that's no 2^x - nor? Well, maybe 16! And even modern screen can use 256 Shades of Gray, but mostly in a private way …

... let's stay Serious from 9 to 16, if we be in the office an an App mimik a TypeWriter ...

I'll throw the picture on an eReader - and yes, this seems to work ...

OK, that's in the next version

Sorry: I try it also on an older eReader, and now I think the Counters (for Words and Lines/Chars) should be darker. And a real Black and White solution could be the best for this kind of Devices - if the eInk-Android hits more in the marked.

OK, I've made all the text black. That will be in another version.
