I totally agree with this. It would be good if we had a theme toggle from white to black. It makes it easier at night.

Since this is a SystemUI theme alteration, I do not think it should be placed in launcher settings. That said, there absolutely should be a toggle, or even better an automatic day/night cycle. If someone wants their UI not to blind them at night, they shouldn't have to change to an almost black wallpaper.

Agreed on the need got a toggle, it generally more control on whether or not I see the dark UI

We have passed this to the development team and will update this issue with more information as it becomes available.

We have added support for a Dark theme to be applied to quick settings and launcher under Settings -> Display -> Device Theme. It will be available in a future Android build.

Good news. Does this mean that Wallpaper based automatic  Theme switching will be removed? That was the dumbest thing i've ever had to endure on my phone.

And if that get's removed there's no reason to keep the horrible Wallpaper colour based Tinting applied in various places. The sooner that is gone the better.

Also any chance of Settings and Gmail apps getting Dark theme?
The look of older Android versions with dark theming and OLED was perfect, it'd be amazing to get back to that

Also need transparent mode in launcher settings.. transparent looks very awesome and wallpaper looks very transparently on the back side of the menu.

Does "Dark" mean black so that AMOLED screens can benefit, or is it a useless dark grey?

Now how about a dark theme for Settings and system elements like notifications & toasts. A dark theme option doesn't have to accommodate any and all Play Store apps or even all Google apps. No theme needs to be 100% compliant or consistent. App developers can take care of themselves.

I wouldn't call dark grey "useless". Maybe useless in terms of what YOU are wanting, but it's dark grey is easy on the eyes, which is plenty useful for me. Good on Google for doing this.

Why request it in the launcher, instead of in the OS itself?
There is no reason only the launcher should be affected...

Dark Mode should applies to everything, no exception. We don't want to see
anything that has white background. That's the purpose of Dark Mode.

I long for "AMOLED Black" to be an option under theme in settings.

Since my medication has made me light sensitive, I've used "Invert colour" which makes the main Google apps look fantastic!
Though isn't as good as good as themes because pictures, videos and other apps are also inverted.
