Dark Theme?

**Gankaku** · 22 Feb 2019, 02:45 AM

I can get it to work on the web, but in my mobile app there is no selection for it. Having some eye issues as I get older, and need to be able to set everything on my screen to dark. Help? Thanks!

I am using Smart Invert Colors on my iPhone which enables white letters on a black background. You can't use the dark Fastmail theme with this system wide black background but if you use any of the other themes you will get the desired effect in Fastmail. I stress this is for the iPhone. Not sure what to do with an Android phone.

PS Eye issues have also forced me to resort to this inversion of screen colors which works fine for text. It distorts many images though so I have to go back to regular screen format for most still and moving images.

If you're not completely set on using the native app, BlueMail is an excellent (free) alternative, and they have a dark theme.

It’s a nice app, easy to setup. I can’t speak for Gankaku but I prefer a system wide dark mode a systemwide dark mode.
