Provide Dark Mode (not AMOLED pitch black) #1043

Open foxjaw opened 9 months ago

I noticed that kiwi hardcoded amoled (pitch) black in Dark mode background, which typically it supposed to be "dark". Why ?
Instead of hardcoding it, at least expose the option to users to choose their own background flavor.

I personally hate amoled mode. The visibility of white text is very poor, since pupils expand so much so that the text doesn't go through retina. Meanwhile, dark shades shrink pupils well enough so that the text penetrates well into the retina without any issues.

Also, there's literally no difference in battery life when both are compared.

Whatever I set here, the resultant output is always pitch black night mode. The gray mode just doesn't work at all. It's a bug.
