Osmand for cycling - whishlist 1 - OLED screen - white on black mode - to save battery #8768

This is self explaining. I use OSMand for cycling.

A app theme with preferable white graphics on a otherwise completely black background could save battery.

+1. I know many people using their bicycle computer and Osmand on their smartphone at the same time although they are looking for a single device solution. Many of them claim that bicycle computers are simpler to use and that they can read the trip data more easily during the ride due to a cleaner display with bigger font and high display contrast. I would love to see at least a trip computer view #1734 where trip data is shown with high display contrast (e.g. white on black).

+1. When this is done, then it should be easier to show red monochrome image (RGB between 000000 and FF0000) on black background, of course with reduced detail level. This would allow using OsmAnd in full screen in dark surroundings without eye strain.

Something like the “night colors” in the GPS Test app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
