Best Dark Theme for Android

The dark topics on Android should be the rule, not the exception. No.

There was a point when Android wrapped himself in a shade and a grain. #YOLOHOLO's triumphal screams sounded all over the net as consumers unveiled a portable sensation that didn't dazzle them every single day they check their cell phones in their beds. The Material Design era heralded a new era of light, whitish Android applications, and one by one even Google's own applications were robbed of their contrasts and carbon.

Producers followed in Google's footprints and system theme after the system theme was drawn into the limelight. Today, dark topics are an exceptionality on Android, an ever rarer feat that is almost as passionately searched for by consumers as it is almost completely ignored by all large service providers and vendors. With Android Pie dashing hope of a system-wide dark theme for another year, none of Google's best-known applications have dark theme content for their Android applications.

While this is regrettable for the user, it is even more so for the developer who avoids the dark, because there is a sacred triune nature of advantages to these evil dark styles. Legend of dark subjects are whispering of wondrous energy savings, of the possibility of making the display of a telephone nip like a delicate white wine for whole day and not just for long periods.

In fact, it is possible that a dark subject is a blessing for your batteries if two requirements are met: When your telephone uses an LC or IPS monitor, it doesn't make any difference whether the design uses pitch black: the whole of your telephone's monitor is lit and consumes electricity. So if an application designer uses something over #00000000 - the HOLO day used by Android to gradient charcoal - then each pixels is turned on and draws electricity on an Amoled monitor.

In order for a dark design to be even potentially battery powered, the vast majority of the design must be dark with the remainder of the design and use contrasting colours for text, keys and highlights. A dark subject is better suited for use on an Amoléd display - provided it uses genuine pitch dark.

Using an application that uses Hex Black alias AMOLED Schwarz, scroll text and fast motion can look nervous when single crystals on your mobile are turned on and off. Part of why dark topics in applications like Twitter use a dark colour instead of real blacks so that every bit of information remains on and the application doesn't look stuttering or sluggish when scrolled through the news Feed.

When using a dark colour instead of real blacks in a dark theme, the issue is that it reduces contrasts, and high contrasts are more than a desire for dark themes: they are a need for accessibility. Contrasting sessions are available for almost all computer platforms in the world, because for low eyesight, colour blinding, and older visually impaired people - younger visually impaired people like me.

For those of us with poor vision, high contrasts are simpler to see, and for everyone else, high contrasts make it simpler to read/search/work longer on a telephone or computer. Dark has a prize on Android right now: Pictures are also reversed. Unfortunately, the high-contrast modus on most plattforms is only a colour-inverters.

Doesn't convert hard-to-read scripts into something more readable, doesn't enlarge or distribute text better, and even with Android and Chrome OS, all your photographs and video are reversed, making searching your favorite movie app or your favorite video content an unpleasant time. Those high-contrast modi are also all or nothing, so those features that of course have dark topics like YouTube Traffic are almost as dazzling as an empty Google Doc.

Android could make it simpler for the eye of strong and visually impaired people, by providing and promoting more contrasting dark topics, so that we can use our favourite telephones and applications well into the dark without our retina screaming at us. Since contrasting motifs with a clean background and correctly distanced text are easy to view and use over a longer period of use, a good dark motif means more display times, more commitment and probably more sales for a designer.

In the case of advertising-financed applications, the longer someone uses the application, the more advertisements they browse and the more revenue the developers receive. The longer a consumer can stay in an application before their eye needs a rest or the batteries run out, the more likely they are to become complimentary.

The longer we can use our applications before our own very eyes to make us forget and our battery chargers, the longer and longer at nights we can use our Android mobile phone for everything and everybody. Perhaps Android Pie didn't bring the dark revolutions we had hoped for, but dark issues continue to sneak back from the shadow of Android.

But Android Pie had a switch to leave Quick Setting and system pop-ups dark, and YouTube should soon get its long-awaited dark theme, but it could be so much more. Darkness is better for our sight, better for our battery and better for the result of the designer. At last it's getting to the point where Android and its creators are returning to the dark side, so go to your favourite application, immerse yourself in the preferences and find the options "Send Feedback" or "Contact Developer".

You tell them to come to the dark side.
