iOS Playground for iPad - Dark mode?

[lancastor]

Is it possible to switch the Playgorunds interface on the iPad to a dark theme without switching the whole iPad to dark mode?

I cannot found any settings for Playground, so I think the only solution is to switch my iPad to dark mode, which is very anoying.


Thaks for your help

Haven't found it if there is. But the first thing I did when I set up my iPad was switch on dark mode and I have no intention of ever going back, so thankfully I am unaffected. I'm more annoyed by apps that still don't acknowledge dark mode exists after all this time, iPad Facebook being a high-profile offender.

You can activate Settings>Accessibility>Accessibility Shortcut>Smart Invert Colors and use it to invert the colors while running Playgrounds (and maybe even the Facebook app?).

Or you add the dark mode switch to the control center.

EDIT: please refer to the next post. (iPadOS 15.x)

Even easier: Settings>Accessibility>Per-App Settings. Add Playgrounds and activate Smart Invert Colors for it. Magic! 🤓

Unfortenly "Smart Invert" is not the real "Dark Mode".

Otherwise this would be the perfect solution.

As a partial solution, if you're using SwiftUI in your Playground, you can add the .preferredColorScheme(.dark) modifier to your view hierarchy. This won't change the color scheme of the text editor interface, but it will change the color scheme of the SwiftUI preview.

Well, it’s the closest we get at the moment. And better than being dazzled when opening playground on an iPad running in dark mode. 😎
