iPhone Eclipse : Night Mode/Dark Theme for iOS7

Rooster411 said:
It stinks. The black is more a dark grey and it is applied in a ridiculous manner. I do not think anyone wants Facebook blacked out.

.99 down the drain.

I actually do know several people that want blacked out everything. As for the dark grey, he changed it to that after general consensus that it would be better for contrast. Personally I'd like it to be even lighter (tweetbot dark mode is perfect). Flat black would look like holo on android (always found it hard to read).

The blacklist takes it out of suck category. I hope we get to pick the contrasting color at some point. The shade of orange is ugly and looks like I'm using a Halloween theme at times.

Yep, couldn't use it before bc of conflicts, now I can. I don't like the orange either but the blue works. I'd like to be able to pick the color though. Lighter/duller blue like tweetbot. As you can tell I'm a huge tweetbot fan.
 
This tweak is a perfect example of why I have the insanelyi repo installed.
 
In some apps, can't see any of the nofication text..... Looking forward to the Uicolors tweak that's suppose to be released in the next weak or so.

Same here. :eek: I installed it, then quickly removed it. Just didn't work out for me. I was hoping it would work as smooth as the blackout themes that are included in some of the Android ROMs. But it kept flickering on my iPod Touch.

I think an overall customization of the colors, and not just quick lazy inverts would work better. It needs to be as smooth as in the colorization music app tweaks.
 
I am.

Just go through the blacklist and toggle the apps you won't want affected.
For example, calendar; phone, and pick21 are three apps I turned off.

I also disabled the beta toggle.

So you can opt for what the tweak does not affect such as calendar ?
 
So I bought cause dev promised ipad support in next update, now she delaying and blaming EVERYONE for rushing him when not everyone did and he could have ignored.

I know it's pocket change, but that's not the point.

You could always have a go at writing your own tweak if you don't feel you can wait.

I don't have time to learn, and it's frustrating when the dev promises and then takes away a me blames his audience for rushing him when it wasn't everyone's me he could have ignored them.

I feel your frustration.

However they have taken the time to learn and in many cases do this in their own time away from work/studies etc.

Be patient.
 
Even slightly "crippled" it is a decent tweak.

I honestly don't understand all the grief.
It's not too shabby now and will only improve.

Shouldn't other tweaks (like BiteSMS) fall under the same scrutiny?
 
Coincidently, just read this from the developer:

glad to see the update this morning! the toast messages in UI views are more readable now. however, i noticed that the phone app crashes when it tries to darken.... it's fine if i blacklist phone tho

edit: aaaand that's fixed with another update just now! and the dialer darkens too now

Does it look good system wide now?

IMO it looks ok but maybe not super great. it's tough to theme an entire UI! still tho i would use it except for the fact that it seems to make some text light grey, making it hard to read, especially in places where the background remains white(like in certain text entry fields in Messages or Email.. etc)

He needs to fix the control center too...everything that's normally black needs to be changed to a lighter color.
