Amoled black theme? #577

Can we get one implemented? I know it's not a high priority, but just a lowly request.

Theme for amoled would be a good idea. Yes, we can implement one, when - it's another question.

Upon further reading I think AMOLED doesn't need its separate dark mode. From what I read - in terms of power saving dark grey and pure black are very close.

So I think we should improve current dark theme: 1) Follow https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/darktheme and use correct base theme. This also probably make app darker; 2) Fix contrast of the text.

AMOLED screens suffer from burn-out, so a gray background does reduce the lifespan of the display somewhat.

Also, perhaps a personal preference, however Black themes look so much better on AMOLED screens than those with dark grey backgrounds.
