Dark theme (OLED-friendly)

[orthecreedence]

I don't know much about OLED, so this would probably take a bit of research (I'm guessing it's just using #000000 just about everywhere?

OLED displays have per-pixel lighting, and brightness determines how much power it uses - so having a dark theme will significantly save battery life on OLED screens.

To maximize battery life, I would recommend using hex values #000000 for text and #000000 for background.

Thanks, that helps. I will set all hex values to #000000.

Would it be possible to also add a lower contrast dark theme to this?

Personally I really like the contrast of this one: https://github.com/ddnexus/equilux-theme

It's very easy to the eyes and helps me to prevent eye straining a lot.

I feel having the option of setting dark theme would be useful also for the desktop version.

Any word on this? It's been a year and a half, I'm new to the app and it's the only app I use on my phone/desktop with an irreplaceable white background which is really pushng me towards ditching the app altogether. Really stinks because the functionality is pretty nice.

Any news on this? I've just discovered Turtl (Android) and it's excellent, but the lack of any non-white theme is very frustrating!

This is the only reason I don't use Turtl, yet I desperately want to. I'll download the source and see if I can get this working.

Hopefully the fix is simple and clean.

Alright, so it looks like colors are set in the CSS, mostly here: https://github.com/turtl/js/blob/master/css/general.less Should there be a separate CSS file for the dark theme, or should there be a set of alternate color values within the same general.less? The last thing I want to do is f up the codebase of a project I like (though I'm sure the Andrew won't just let junk in).

After digging into composer.js, I've found that I only have enough understanding to repack this with different CSS. Creating a new setting in the existing menu to swap CSS files and reload the view is looking like a huge undertaking from where I am.
