Use the primaryLightColor for dark theme in the app
See original GitHub issueThere’s a color specified in colors.xml
with the name primaryLightColor
. It looks like a nice complement to the primaryColor
. While primaryColor
seems suited for light theme, the light variant seems suited for the dark theme of the app.
So, I suggest using it in place of primaryColor
for the dark theme. As a matter of fact, we could even consider using it for the icons in the bottom bar of the new UI. The current black-on-blackish has poor contrast.

The screenshot on the right looks better indeed to me. 😃
(Also it seems the author names are completely hidden in dark mode, you can just see a tiny sliver of the “person” icon on the left, and you can’t see the text at all.)
@sivaraam is right, at first better work on more well-defined issues rather than spend time implementing many details for possibly nothing.
Additionally, at first please focus on bugs as explained at https://github.com/commons-app/commons-app-documentation/blob/master/android/Volunteers-welcome!.md . Here is a URL that gives bugs that are great for newcomers to work on: https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+no%3Aassignee+-label%3Aassigned+-label%3Adebated+label%3Abug
Anyway, feel free to push your code to a branch of your repository and post a link here, that might help someone in the future 😃 Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm, and welcome to the team!
