iPhone Dark theme request

I've been using the invert colors feature to she it at night especially for sites that have a white background. Makes it much easier to read. I set my home button to it so I can triple click to turn it on.

 

It would be great if it could switch based on the ambient light sensor.

 

This. I'll go ahead and sign the petition or whatever if this is the end result. Best use of ambient sensor.

 

The interface in the FaceTime app is perfect. I'd definitely put my name down for that option.

 

Given how iOS 7 was designed, it should be (relatively) easy to make this possible. Would it not be just assigning different colors? They do it pretty well with maps.

Also, I think Jony and Craig are more likely to listen to people than Steve and Scott were. Given that this wouldn't be too difficult of a feature to implement, creating a petition may actually do us good.

Edit: Here's a mockup I did a while ago. What I find very interesting is that all of those vibrant colors that it uses, Work just as well against white vs. black. I think that was probably intentional. The more I think about it, I'd be surprised if we don't see this by iOS 8 (but i'd rather 7.1).

 

Some good ideas going here, guys.

As was posted above, setting triple-click home to Invert Colors helps wonders in the meantime.

But you'd think they'd be able to come up with a dark theme after all these years. How would this not be more useful than parallax?...

Poll?

 

Honestly, I think the reason they forwent the dark theme was because it'd look too much like Android, which uses a dark theme because many Android devices use an OLED screen (black isn't "on," so it doesn't use up battery).

But every time I see that black keyboard pop up on my iPhone or iPad… stunning.

 

This I would heavily support.

 

That basically uses the actual camera, so somewhat different.

Edit: Or at least it used to...

 

Yes, Dark theme... bring it on... I would like ability to pick theme for each individual apps... Some apps looks nice with white theme some looks good with dark theme

 

Apple went out of their way to introduce some bright colors with iOS 7 and the iPhone 5C. i doubt they are going to undo that by allowing dark themes.

Apple is also smart not to give customers everything they want.

 

The remote.app looks much better than the music.app.



----------

P.S. Anyone know how to make linked images appear smaller? Those are huge!

 

The Remote App is how the Music app should look like.

 

No, not all.

 

I don't mind it as an option but personally I would not use it.
It make sense on the black iPhones.

 

You mean too much like Windows Phone, which has a *drumroll please* light theme and dark theme?

 

I'm not keen on the full-on black in your mockups, but the dark grey elements in facetime and Private Safari browsing are perfect.

 

I'm all for a dark theme. But dark grey please, not pure black.

 

I don't think I would use it, but it would still be cool to have the option.

 

I was about to go turn on inverted colours when I read that these are just mockups
