The positive impact of dark mode in the eyes of users it makes many like this version on the light display where the apps were originally created. While it is true that many well-known programs have integrated it, it is also true that this has not been overnight.
Recently, WhatsApp launched a watch that would wait for the launch of its black mode. For its part, Facebook is doing the same with the desktop version, but support for this kind of mobile app night is still ongoing, since Changing this type of view poses more challenges for the developer than we can imagine.
Why does black mode support take so long in some applications?
Integrating black mode support into the app is not just about choosing a dark tone for the app. According to an analysis published by Cultofmac lets dark mode, look instantly recognizable.
In the first case, the unique and distinctive combination of light and dark objects is appreciated. A good example can be seen in the first ripe photos of the development of the black Facebook () (which we shared a few weeks ago IPadize.
In this clear example, we were able to see that in time some parts of your user interface, such as in the background, are automatically changed to black, others are unchanged. Some texts become unreadable because they are dark in darkness. Heads with white background look very light. While the images and symbols made for the light layer look pretty good.
When it comes to developing support for dark mode, everything is complicated depending on the number of views available in the app. In this sense, all the right design conditions must be taken to ensure that everything looks good, since most systems include symbols, logos and images and so on. things that will require a change without changing the brand identity.
Product type Facebook needs detailed management to maintain its integrity. Your brand identity should be consistent across all platforms. Black mode combines this as not all logo and color schemes look black. In this way, the changes should be reviewed as many times as possible until they are in accordance with their design guidelines.
Considering the sheer amount of detail involved in working to integrate support in black mode, it's no surprise that many applications decide to do it without it, either in the case of Facebook or WhatsApp previously. Use the time required to achieve the desired result.
