Automatic dark theme? - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

Just got the Xperia 5. Loving it so far. Is there anyway to automatically enable dark theme at sunset, like you can with Night Light? It had it on the S9 I just moved from.
If not is there any workaround with IFTTT or similar?
Thanks

I've answered my own question...
You can use Tasker to link Dark theme to Night Light so that they come on at the same time. You can also set it to come on on it's own if you don't use Night Light!

[Q] Is there a way to make everything black instead of white?

I liked how everything was black and dark on previous android versions (settings, call, messaging, etc..) I don't like the whiteness in the lollipop ui as it may consume more battery life than dark ui.
Suggestions?

This should actually be possible through the Samsung theme store (look at the Space theme for example). Unfortunately I've yet to find a simple dark theme. The theme store is also a bit of a pain to navigate.
Ha! Just had a look at that theme, and one of the screenshots says "CONACTS" instead of "CONTACTS." Way to go, Samsung quality control!

Hey - I think I can help with this. User Gunthermic was kind enough to upload the Cogul Black theme, which was promised, but never arrived in the theme store. See no. 10 in the following for download and install instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...e-samsung-stock-s6-themes-collection-t3080847
My first thought was to turn the screen off :-/ don't get much blacker than that.
But I too miss the darkness of such things as CM KitKat u.u

Theme App Coverage Question

Hello all,
I will start off by saying I love this app. As others here I just want to change the way everything looks.
My question: Is there a substratum theme that applies an overlay to the Outlook app? I use it quite frequently for work and the blue and white theme drives me nuts. I would love to see it added to something like "BLACK PANEL // Samsung mod" so I can have a nice black background with white/colored text and maybe a red header(can totally be an RGB option for everyone else too).
Does anyone know if there is a theme that has this support or if it's even possible? I do not mind paying for a theme so long as it works with my phone and themes the apps I want.
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Running Android 7.0
I don't think anybody actually has an Outlook overlay but you can just try sending a polite request email to your favourite theme developer and it might just work :fingers-crossed:
Swift dark themes it black if that helps

Dark theme at night, Light theme during the day.

With the google launcher on the pixel 2: if you have a black wallpaper the theme turns black, if you have a lighter wallpaper the theme goes with white theme, i would like to see a live wallpaper that shifts from a light background durning the day and at night the live wallpaper goes dark, so this way i can see it in the sunlight but at night its soft black and easy on the eyes. I know other launchers give you these settings, but would really like to see this work with the google launcher. any one have a live wallpaper or mod that can make this happen with the google launcher.

This might work.
Create a folder and place a light and and dark wallpaper in there.
Download Muzei en set the source to the folder you created.
Set the refresh time to 12 hours or something. And you'll have a decent interval.
FYI - the Pixel 2 reverts to a light theme anytime a live wallpaper is used. Even if the wallpaper is dark in color.

Yeah, I later realized it's only for certain live wallpapers. Not sure why though
Anyone know of a dark theme for Google Voice and Google Home? They are too white and bright at night.
You could try "Material Islands" live wallpaper. It changes from light to dark throughout the day
If you are rooted there is a sort of trick.
There is an app called "Pixel Launcher Mods" (here), and when you turn on night light you can force the dark theme.
Then simply set auto night light at some time, for example in the evening, so it will auto-shift to night light and also dark theme without have to change wallpaper.
I find this very useful.
For those who aren't on root and like to use a live wallpaper that won't apply the dark theme, but still want it (like me), an okay, but sometimes jarring alternative is to set Invert Colors in the pulldown quick tiles and just manually turn it on when needed. It's not the best solution, but it's something.

Dark theme for OneNote?

Looking for a dark theme for OneNote, preferably AMOLED. I tried the beta with newly integrated dark mode, but not good enough (yet). Only app I can't get AMOLED. Anyone know if any dev has themed?

Resetting Dialer Theme

2 questions.
I know that HTC abandoned their Themes App. I recently factory-reset my HTC U12+, and all my themes and wallpapers are gone. I was wondering if there is ANY WAY at all to change the background color of the dialer. With no proper system-wide dark theme, every time I open the phone app, It's a blinding white screen.
Was there ever a way discovered to implement a dark theme on the U12+?
