Posted on Mar 7                      • Originally published at eevis.codes                   You might have heard that your app should have a dark theme available. Some say it's because of preference, but it's actually also an accessibility thing.This blog post itself doesn't have the code to enable dark and light themes for the user. Instead, it explains why having both of them is essential and provides further reading on the topic — yes, with links to some code and instructions as well.  Many people use everything they can in a dark theme. After all, staring at screens for a long time might be easier if the user interface uses darker colors. Using a dark theme instead of a light one also saves some battery. However, many people choose to use the dark theme because it is more accessible for them. For example, some vision issues might cause discomfort because of light or even wash out the rest of the person's vision. A white (or similar) background behind the text can cause these issues. Another reason is that dark themes often have better contrast (if they're designed properly). Now, if the dark theme is so great, why not just have the dark theme for the app and forget about the light theme? While dark theme is more accessible for many, some people benefit from light theme. For example, people with astigmatism may find light theme more accessible, and people with dyslexia might prefer light mode for readability. For reference, see, for example, this article: Dark mode: How accessible design raises the bar - Layth SihanLuckily, defining light and dark themes in modern Android development is straightforward. Let's discuss the technical considerations of light and dark themes next. Starting from Android 10 (SDK 29), there is a system setting for switching between dark and light modes. If you define your themes correctly, your app will respect that system-wide setting by default. To define a dark theme for your app using themes from XML files, follow the instructions in Android documentation: Implement dark theme. For apps using Jetpack Compose, the instructions are in Material Design 3 in Compose - Color scheme. A handy tool for generating themes is Material Theme Builder, a web tool for defining themes. You can use the web UI to define the colors and then export the theme and the color definitions to import to your project. It provides exports for both Compose and XML, as well as for Flutter, web, and Material Tokens. If you want to give the user more granular control and select the theme for your app different from the system setting, here's an article with a tutorial on how to do that with Jetpack Compose: Dark Theme Switch in Jetpack Compose with CompositionLocal - Sibel NalopI mentioned that dark themes might have better contrast if they're designed properly. So, when defining your theme colors for both light and dark themes, check for enough contrast between the background, texts, and other UI elements. The Material Design docs explain color contrast: Material Design 3: Accessible design—Color & Contrast.In this blog post, I've discussed the accessibility of dark and light themes. As neither is the most accessible choice for all users, you should design and develop your apps to have both. They should either respect the user's system settings or have an in-app setting for switching between the themes.Which do you personally prefer, the light or the dark theme? Do you select them app-by-app (if possible) or use the system-wide setting? And do you implement both for the apps you develop?

Why Your App Should Have Both Dark And Light Themes

Have you seen a tweet from Grimes making fun of her former partner, Elon Musk, for saying that wealthy ex-wives are destroying Western civilization? The Grimes tweet is fake. The musician didn’t actually poke fun at Musk over the comment. The Musk tweet, on the other hand, is completely real.“’Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse’ should filed be listed among ‘Reasons that Western Civilization died,’” the billionaire SpaceX CEO tweeted on Wednesday.Musk’s very real tweet was a response to a user on X who was criticizing MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, over the kinds of organizations to which she donates her money. Scott has given away at least $16 billion since her divorce. But the groups she’s giving to are apparently too woke, in this particular person’s opinion.And that’s when Musk, a billionaire who’s been married three times, chimed in to give his two cents about how wealthy ex-wives are somehow destroying civilization. Musk didn’t elaborate on how that could be possible, but we digress. All of this is the background necessary to understand the fake Grimes tweet that’s currently going viral.“Is the ex-wife destroying Western Civilization in the room with us right now?” the snarky fake tweet from Grimes reads.Musk is the father of at least two children with Grimes, who is often used as a foil in photoshopped jokes about the billionaire. But this one isn’t a real tweet from the musician.Who created this fake tweet to make it look like it was sent by Grimes? That appears to be an X account with the name Trap Queen Enthusiast and the handle @marionumber4. Gizmodo confirmed with the creator they indeed conjured this joke into existence on Wednesday, and it seems to be taking on a life of its own, as memes have been known to do.You can even find the fake tweet on Bluesky, a competitor to X, where people there also believe it’s real.“Better men have deleted their accounts and retired from the internet after burns half as severe as that,” one Bluesky user said late Wednesday.And just in case you didn’t think the chain of custody on this fake tweet wasn’t complex enough, another fake screenshot of the Grimes tweet has been created to make it look like a Community Note has been added.“While she did bear multiple of Elon’s children, Grimes was never technically married to Elon. Elon’s only real ex-wife is merely kinda rich,” the fake Community Note reads.And that’s how these things spread. A joke that most people within a small online circle fully understand as a joke will break containment, spreading across the internet and even jumping to other social media sites. And then people are left to wonder whether it’s real or not—be it Mike Lindell supposedly driving drunk or an adorable croissant in the shape of a dinosaur. Checking the official Grimes X account won’t answer the mystery either, as it’s not there and anyone who’s asked can only respond that maybe she deleted it. Well, we’re here to tell you this one is fake because we confirmed it with the creator. But, again, we can’t stress enough that Musk’s bizarre tweet about ex-wives destroying Western civilization is very real. He really is just a very strange dude.

No, Grimes Didn't Make Fun of Elon Musk for Saying Rich Ex-Wives Have Destroyed Civilization. You can even find the fake tweet on Bluesky, a competitor to X, where people there also believe it’s real.“Better men have deleted their accounts and retired from the internet after burns half as severe as that,” one Bluesky user said late Wednesday

Posted on Mar 7                  I've been on DEV 7 years! I just got the notice and the seven year badge. I was a lurker for the first few years. I was more active on Twitter back then.I didn't post my blog till some time during the summer part of the pandemic. I wanted to get my thoughts out to more people so I blogged on DEV. I was Stuck at home and needed to be seen.I felt welcomed when I posted. I shared posts with friends from Virtual Coffee and the CodeNewbie Twitter chats. But soon gained new followers here.Since then I've met more people here and made some friends. I've given back by becoming a trusted member and help to point out interesting blog posts and report the spam. I try to spend some time each week to welcome new members.My numbers of readers might not be as high as some writers and that's fine. I do have more followers here than on the dead bird site. I write what I find interesting and hope someone else enjoys it.If you're lurking take this as a push to comment on other posts and then start writing. I'll take a a push to get back to blogging regularly. I have a couple unfinished drafts and just had a new ideal for a post tonight.Follow me here or on MastodonTemplates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.
