Finally, the dark theme 😃

How do you get the background black?

Update the app to the latest version 1.5.1(76), then go to settings and you should see this

Is this update released for ios ? Because i am not able to see this setting nor any update available at the app store :confused:

Nope. It’s not yet done on iOS.

:weary: please bring dark theme to IOS … looking at white screen is looking directly at the sun.

Because most of the UI on IOS is dark. Only app in my app drawer without dark theme is BLYNK… which i use the most :pensive:

In dark theme it will be nice to have background color, edges and styles like in styled buttons.
I work around the problem by using the styled buttons instead of labeled values :sweat_smile:

I like the black theme but the new layout not so much…
Labels are bigger text now, so many don’t fit anymore. XL text in the top two labeled value widgets been cut off on the bottom.
Also chart values are bigger now. Back color on the chosen time period to obvious.
Text in Labeled values are more thin then before.
Tab text too big for my likings.
Also scrolling between pages/tabs is gone.

See attached pics
Before


And now

But… Dark theme looks nice! so thanks for that

For some strange reason the tab text (see the white now pic) is fitting normal now, see black pic (alo on white theme now) :thinking:

Also one thing i noticed and very annoying is reset of superchart time period to Live after reopening the app instead of keeping last chosen time period (like in my case 6 months).

I will check those issues

Heh, we hadn’t been able to finish all things we planned for the new UI and dark theme, but I hope we will make them before next May)

Among other nice features available in the latest build:

  • Android 12 and later: there is an option to switch to the Material You theme in settings.
  • Users of Android 11 and later may enjoy Device Control support: long power button menu (Android 11), or status bar option (Android 12 and later) - where you can pin your blynk devices for quick access via the system. It’s the same place where you can find Google Home devices.
  • There is also a basic latest notifications home screen widgets (which can be set to show a specific organization if you have several ones)

Do you mean May 2023 ? :scream:

Dark theme might be nice (to some).

But, you have disimproved the fonts for light theme.
They are now thinner, I believe, which makes it much more difficult to read on light background.

  • I don’t see this as any improvement. Not at all.
    Please fix.

8 posts were split to a new topic: Segmented switch reselection issue

I must admit.
I have spent the weekend playing around with the dark theme (on Mobile).

And yes - it is better than light theme …

(There are still some menu texts etc which is not “perfectly chosen” to match the dark theme - but it works great anyway. Some menu text is too dark …)

We will fix such issues. If possible - just PM me screenshots of not nicely matched screens, and I will pass them to the design team or fix them depending on the issue.

Tab text changing size (see pics above) seems random??

Also noticed that medium text in a menu (pull down) is now too big and cut off in new version, see pics


Menu widget will be fixed.

Oke, things fixed with new update 14-06 (for me):
-Superchart saves last time period now.
-Menu text Xmedium fits now.

Still not fixed :frowning:
-XLarge text of labeled value cuts off at bottom
-Label text off widgets still to large
-Tabs text still changing in size?
-No scrolling between tabs (pages) from screen below tabs, on tabs itself scrolling works
-Text Large in “Text input” to big , to high in widget and therefor cutoff at top.
