Dark theme not working.

[boober78]

Hi. I installed P beta, and in the display setting I saw the theme that can choose. There's light, dark and auto. Before locking back the bootloader the dark worked great. Now, after system was reset, dark mode doesn't seem to do anything. Quick settings is still white... Should I do something more?

Doesn't work for me either I'm afraid.

It only works if u have a dark wallpaper. Then it works

It's still broken in the official release... what sort of idiot developers or QA people can't test and catch simple bugs like this?

It would take maybe an hour to test various android settings to make sure they were all functioning as expected.

Apparently some people have a hard time understanding wallpaper selection shouldn't effect anything unless you're on AUTO.

If you pick DARK or LIGHT it should default to that mode regardless of what your wallpaper is.

Capiche?

?

If that doesn't get the point across nothing will!

I've seen a lot of people having this same issues on Reddit.

It's working for me but my background is totally black.

Set the theme to dark and the restart the phone. That's how it started working on my phone.

This is an issue which has been present for months. Believe me my phone has been restarted multiple times since the first P Beta, up to and including there current release. Does nothing. Substratum themes also have zero effect. Magisk 16.74 here.

I found the fix! Flip the theme to dark theme in the settings and then install this all black wallpaper below. That will turn everything to the dark theme. Once everything is dark you can switch the wallpaper to any other wallpaper and it should stay in the dark theme. Hope this helps!

Worked for me. Thanks!!
Just a questio: does the settings menu needs to be black also on dark team? Or just the notification area and the app drower.. thanks

What I noticed about the dark theme is that it changes the pull down menu, app drawer, power button selection and volume. It does not change the settings menu, those all stay light. Very weird. It should be all or nothing. Come on Google, get it together!

Live wallpapers cannot be used if you want to trigger the dark theme. That's the reason why it's not working for many. Has to be a dark image.

If YOU could test all the functions in one hour, Google would pay you a DAILY salary of 1 Million Dollars!
