Need tips on a dark / black theme

[Macrint]

I've been looking for a black theme, all these white menus hurt my eyes

There used to be a switch in settings to make everything including menus etc black but it seems to have been switched to the theme manager. Can't seem to find a theme with dark background and white text in menus, they mostly just change wallpaper.

Any advice?

Learn how to theme.

Unfortunately, it can't be done. When you create a theme for an Xperia phone, you create a dark theme and a light theme, but it is not up to the theme developer or the user which of those themes to use. Sony has explicitly decided which of their apps will use each theme, and there does not seem to be a user-facing option to change it.

Yep, I spent a whole afternoon making and tweaking the perfect theme. No dark mode in the settings :/

IICR if you put it to the stock launcher then go to themes when long pressing the screen those themes should change the whole phones theme.

Upgrade your phone to Android Oreo 8.0
and use substraum themes, then apply black theme

Do you think we can get the android 7 nav keys? cause I am not a fan of oreo nav keys.

only at setting page, not in other such as dialer and phonebook

Is there a substratum theme that doesnt break my apps? I was using the mono/art theme for substratum but everytime an app like WhatsApp or messages got an update it would force close the app when I would try to launch it until I remove the theme or it gets an update. Is there a theme where this wont happen? I was also getting force closes with WiFi toggled on and off.
