This solution has made our iPhone and iPad wallpapers with bright and eye-catching device. And it's perfect for everyday use devices, most of the time there are no problems. Until then, until the user is in the darkness and decided to check out Twitter and new wallpapers. From the bright screen, sometimes you want to hide, rather than continue to use the gadget even at minimum illumination. This is reason enough to add dark design theme in iOS 10 Wallpapers. With such an appeal to the Apple asked the chief editor Rene Ritchie iMore.
In the mobile OSes Apple is not a night theme. Some people use color inversion function, located in Universal Access preferences. It allows you to turn the iOS 10 interface from completely white to completely black. At the same time it will change green on purple, blue turns in orange, and so on. Each color will be inverted, including photos and pictures on the home screen.
A kind of dark themes implemented in the reader iBooks, where you can manually set the time or special mode to read in the evening. Rather than invert the colors, the app adapts them to read in low light conditions. White background becomes black, and black text - light gray. In addition, the blue and green colors are also taking a gray tint, which allows convenient to look at the charts or images without serious distortion.
Moreover, in the App Store for a long time there are applications that have their own nightly themes. For example, the popular calendar Fantastical a separate option in the settings that allows you to switch between the light and dark themes of decoration. A Tweetbot popular client makes it simple movement of his fingers up and down, changing light decoration on a dark and vice versa. Unfortunately, similar functionality puzzled, not all developers.
Home change
The update iOS 10 Apple has added a special feature Night Shift. It allows the iPhone or iPad display during the day to change the color temperature from warmer at night, to cold during the day. In the settings you can specify how the change of the color spectrum will be: Scheduled or by activating the button on the menu control points.
The idea is that in the evening and at night you can not strain your eyes with cold, blue hues, that our brains can take for natural light, which would entail a lengthy process of going to sleep.
This is a great feature and it really works. However, it does not solve the main problem - radical reducing the display brightness.
Daylight NightKit
When the surroundings are dark, any light source strongly strains the eyes. Even the indicator on the monitor or TV in total darkness terrible hindrance. What can we say about the tablet screen or a smartphone? At such moments you need night theme.
If Apple will adapt the design of each of their applications under the night-time, it may take a long time to work through all the interface details. But if a company thinks about the whole platform for developers, conditional «NightKit», then in the near future each of the applications for iOS 10 can use a new feature at the system level, rather than as a separate option.
Thus, users do not have to look for tuning applications and constantly switching apps each other. Night theme could be incorporated via the control office or the setup menu (for example in the same place and Night Shift), and set the global values for any of the applications using the platform «NightKit».
Night race
Android N - the next version of operating system from Google, is already developing in this direction. Most likely, this is due to the fact that such a function must be implemented in the early stages of the development of the OS as a platform like "NightKit" - is extremely difficult.
And it is not only to provide developers with the tools, but also to explain to them how important it is for the end user. However, for such initiatives and integration can hide thousands of little things: the differences in the design of own developed applications, to miscommunication between designers and their vision of beauty.
In any case, every time I wake up at night and look at the screen of your iPhone to know the time - I have to squint from the unbearably bright display even when the mode Night Shift. Apple has begun to move in the right direction. So, we may well hope for the realization of the dark themes in the new iOS 10 edition.
What do you think the dark theme design in iOS need?
