curiousaur ( @curiousaur@reddthat.com ) 17•6 months ago Steak ( @Steak@lemmy.ca ) 14•6 months agoJust found out I can dark mode google maps for use in android auto. So happy. My stupid car has a huge touchscreen and I like have google maps for nav but I hated the giant white screen blasting in my face every single time I drive even at night. Now it’s night mode always all the time. Fuck yeah.
I will be changing this immediately.
KingJalopy ( @KingJalopy@lemm.ee ) 2•6 months agoMine used to have that option but disappeared from my menu recently which sucks. My phone is always dark mode including maps. Wish I knew why my car won’t do dark mode unless it’s actually dark out because I hate it.

KingJalopy ( @KingJalopy@lemm.ee ) 2•6 months agoI can’t find it for the life of me.
Steak ( @Steak@lemmy.ca ) 2•6 months agoi open apps on my phone (galaxy s21?) then click my google profile thing in the top right. In there is a settings option with a gear icon near the bottom. click that, in there is a setting called “theme” and you just set that to “always dark”.
KingJalopy ( @KingJalopy@lemm.ee ) 1•6 months agoI appreciate the help but I should’ve been more explicit. I’ve done that on my phone, and my phone is always dark mode but my android auto forces light mode unless it’s actually dark outside or in under a bridge or something.
Catoblepas ( @Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 10•6 months agoMy husband is a light mode user on everything and it always makes me recoil. I’ve literally never encountered a situation where I preferred light mode over a functioning dark mode.

WashedOver ( @WashedOver@lemmy.ca ) 8•6 months agoLove it. I wish my older android devices could use dark mode too especially the google apps.
ShaggySnacks ( @ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one ) English5•6 months agoDark mode is indeed the best however when people don’t know configure their site for dark mode.
“Oh yeah, using dark mode. Here’s some dark, blue text on a dark background.”
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) 3•6 months agoI try to make every app dark, fuck the ones that fall apart when I force it.
letsgo ( @letsgo@lemm.ee ) 2•6 months agoI tried dark mode. Spent hours fiddling with all the different applications to get them to comploy. Of course, to make the text show up properly you have to turn up the brightness.
And there are just too many times Windows decides “Full bright white screen is just what’s needed here!” (Yes I did set the system to dark mode. When Windows fills the screen with white, it should really look at that setting first and fill it with something a bit darker instead, not necessarily black but for my retinas’ sake please not FFFFFF.)
Conclusion: light mode with the brightness turned down. At least my screens don’t stab me in the eyes multiple times a day.
