Embracing Dark Mode in App Development with Timedoor Indonesia
In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, developers are constantly innovating to create apps with dynamic and engaging interfaces. One prominent trend is the integration of dark mode, which has several benefits such as being easier on the eyes, reducing blue light exposure, saving battery life, and offering a sleek, aesthetic appearance. However, dark mode also has its drawbacks, such as making long texts harder to read and causing eye fatigue for some users. To cater to diverse user preferences, major apps like WhatsApp and Facebook offer adaptive themes that change based on time or user settings.
Implementing dark mode in your app may seem daunting, but with Timedoor Indonesia’s expert IT development services, it’s a straightforward process. By focusing on two key elements—color and icon—you can easily create an app that supports dark mode.
Simplifying Dark Mode Implementation with Colors
1. Open Assets in your project and add a new color set by clicking the (+) icon at the bottom.
2. In the appearances menu, select Any, Dark. This will give you two color options: one for default appearance and one for dark mode.
3. Change the colors as needed in the settings. In the storyboard, the color menu will now show the assets color:
4. To use the color in code, call the command: UIColor(named: “danger_main”). Ensure the asset name is correct to prevent crashes.
Example:
self.backgroundColor = UIColor(named: "danger_main")
Adapting Icons for Dark Mode
1. Add two versions of each icon (for light and dark themes) to the assets, similar to adding colors.
2. Change the image by dragging it into the provided box. Use the command UIImage(named: “ic_radio_btn_selected”) or select it through the editor:
Example:
checkedUIImageView?.image = UIImage(named: "ic_warning")
