Restore option for dark theme for the default apps / include both light & dark theme for unified look development.
- /e/ version: e0.15q
- Device model(s): Redmi Note 8T
Summary
/e/ OS update to 0.15 version removed option for dark theme from dialer app (it's still there partially thought, ie. when going into settings and selecting call accounts, it turns into dark theme like it was before update. Other than that, there is no option for dark theme.
I understand the need for unifying default app themes, but for my understanding plan was supposed to be to include dark themes.
As I suffer from chronical migraine, there's huge need for dark themes. It's still avaialble at Mail app and SMS (messages) app, but seems to be removed from Calendar and phone / dialer app. It's quite annoying and you don't even realize that if it's just matter of opinion whether you like light or dark theme more. When there's actual need, it's bit different story. Sure in addition to that I also prefer dark themes for look, feels a lot modern and not back to the 90's way..
Description
Currently dark themes are partially removed, probably planned to either re-include or at worst case first remove completely to adjust unified look of default apps and re-include after this work is done.
What is the improved behavior?
Improved way would be to include both unified dark & light theme version from the start into layouts too. Hopefully offer that as "dot" upgrade as soon as possible.
What does it bring?
As noted, I suffer from chronical migraine (I believe I'm not the only one), it's helpful to use dark themes. Pain isn't usually at max level when it's chronical, so you are able to use devices but dark theme helps.
Examples
Best option would be possibility to select theme not only as system default, but as per app. After all for some cases I think light theme is better ( I personally use it at calendar), but most of times I choose dark theme when possible.
Validation
Check opening default app, ie. dialer / phone app. When there's option to change to use to dark theme, this issue is solved. Same goes basicly to all defaut apps.
