1.11.1 Night mode

Post by par »

What's new?

- Night mode.
The background of YoWindow in the night used to be too dark.
The bright panels are looking unnatural over the dark scene.
The black text over the dark background is hard to read.

To solve these drawbacks we are introducing night display mode.
When it is getting dark in the landscape, the information panels change color.


Also I have removed some elements (day separators, time line background) to simplify the design.
Copyright bar color intensity reduced. Do not display it in full screen.

Do you like this change?

Compare before and after below.

Hi Pasha,

Please let this be an option in settings.
Some people will like Night Mode.
I prefer the contrast of the prior build.

I only have this on my Lenovo right now.

Attached is a visual problem with Night Mode.
It is difficult to see the weather while in landscape.

Hi Pasha,

Attached is a bug with night mode.

It is daylight in Mansfield.
When I first click on YoWindow, for a fraction of a second I see the contrast panel.
Then there is no contrast panel.

I then turn android to landscape and then back to portrait.
I now see the contrast panel.

Thank you, Marty!
No need an extra option.
I'm going to decrease night panels transparency.
