Title really, it’s the first thing everybody looks for when they download something.
That’s authoritarian. Lol I don’t like dark mode at all, why force it on me?
How is it anymore “authoritarian” than starting in light mode by default lol?
It’s actually objectively the best option for the default, including over system default, for many reasons. It’s a better default than light mode because for dark mode users light mode can be immediately painfully bright, whereas even the most steadfast light mode user would take a few minutes at least to feel eye strain in dark mode, which is plenty of time to switch to light mode. It’s better than system default because often apps set to the system theme will flash light mode before loading the system option.
Disagree. All apps should start by following the system mode. That way you get the app the way you like it and don’t have to change it.
Yup. The latest app I’ve built has 3 modes.
- System (default)
- Light
- Dark
It gives that setting right on start-up and saves the users selection as the new default straight after. It’s not too hard to implement. At least not in Angular. Native Android on the other hand is a pain in the neck. I found react native to also bee rather painful.
