Gallery App Dark Theme

  • /e/ version: 0.18
  • Device model(s): SM-G960F
  • Device rooted: no

Summary

Since /e/ version 0.17, the gallery displays a white-on-white color scheme when using a dark system theme.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

  • Set system theme to dark
  • Open gallery app

What is the current behavior?

The color scheme for the gallery app is difficult to read.

What is the expected correct behavior?

A dark theme with appropriate contrast should be used.

Relevant screenshots

  • A screenshot of the album view in the gallery app. All labels are very hard to read due to the white-on-white color scheme. screenshot

Solutions

Workaround

Switch to a light system theme.

Possible fixes

The color scheme used with a system light theme is actually darker and more readable. Perhaps keep that color scheme persistent? This appeared to be the case in /e/ version 0.16.
