Filenames in Files app almost unreadable in dark theme

  • /e/ version: v0.15
  • Device model(s): Not device specific

Summary

When dark theme is selected, filenames displayed in Files app are in dark-ish grey text on a backgoring that is only slightly darker. As a result, they are nearly unreadable

See attached screenshots

The problem

Activate Settings > Display > Dark theme

Open files and navigate to internal storage or SD Card

The filenames, especially in the list view arvery hard / impossible to read

The attached screenshots are from Xperia XZ1 Compact running an unofficial build, but forum users have reported the problem in several devices including

  • OnePlus 6T
  • Xiaomi A1

I have confirmed that the problem also occurs in Xperia Z5 Compact and Z3 Compact I can provide more screenshots if needed

The solution

Make the text colour much lighter
