Android 10 and iOS 13 both have native dark modes. Does anybody else want this? Is this on the cards? ---

This is super cool and we have some early concepts of this. Have a look.👇👇 https://dribbble.com/shots/5301093-Dashboard-Dark-Mode/player ---

Agreed. @edoardomoreni do we have an ETA on this? ---

ahaha, not really. Have you guys tested what happens with iOS13? I am not sure Apple is enforcing it. ---

I don’t have an iPhone, but I know android 10 has the option to"force dark mode" where android creates its own dark mode for the app. Can someone try this & see what it looks like? ---

It’s not enforced but apps can use the system settings as the trigger. ---

Yes, makes sense. We haven’t designed / finished it yet. 🙂 ---

PLEASE have an option for OLED black and grey Some people like one or the other Outlook’s dark theme redesign is awesome, if you’d like a baseline ---

Oh and sadly the bright background gradients might not work… perhaps move the gradients to actual elements themselves i.e. graphs, buttons, large numbers? Will look pretty slick ---

I’m Partially Sighted and find a dark background and light text a lot easier to see, but it has to be done with thought to contrast. A ‘Material Dark’ sort of grey & light grey text for instance, is harder to read than the standard black text on white background. I for one, would love a well contrasted dark mode on Emma (and every other app) ---

Just having a quick flit around. The colour scheme is usable, dark mode would just be easier on the eyes. The smaller font sizes (Transactions, History, what did i spend? etc) would be easier to read if a font size bigger, but they’re currently legible if i squint a bit. All of the coloured backgrounds (tiles etc) give enough contrast that i can still see the text, although it would be easier to see if the shading re how much of a category’s buget is spent, was a bit darker, but again it’s not inaccessible as is. I think there needs to be a bit more balance between the font size of what I’ve spent of a budget, and what the budget is, within ‘this month’ and ‘analytics’. I can currently see very easily how much I’ve spent (over) my budget, but the budget amount itself is a bit more tricky, but is just as important to me. So… that’s the long and rambling answer. The short answer? Nope! (Sorry about the ramble!) ---

@edoardomoreni Hey - when will dark mode arrive? Emma and WhatsApp are literally the only apps I regularly use that don’t have dark mode… (my eyes! 👀) ---

Can you only do that thru dev options? My org doesn’t allow access to the options. ---
