The new material design in 3.6.0 using white causes a few issues that a black theme would fix:
- too bright when it's dark or night. Even with the minimal brightness set it's still dazzling.
- the new icons lack colour, so they are harder to tell apart and quickly recognise one from another
- reduces battery life of AMOLED phones
I know there are other changes to come to the app's design. Would you consider developing a dark theme alongside with the white one? Or is the black one dead for now?
I like this idea 
I would also prefer a dark theme as offered by many apps.
Today Locus has many light menus and few dark ones (GPS screen e.g.).

I don`t have Amoled but I think I would more like dark theme too ;)

not a big Robin. Because of complexity of Locus and need to have for all icons also inverse color, it`s task on many days ... and 12 votes cannot convince me to spend time on this instead of many more important tasks. But I definitely don`t say never

Hello guys,
I did some changes to layout and colors/gui/icons of Locus last months. It's maybe not visible, but I want to say, that now it's even more complicated to create different color schema for whole application.
So sorry, but I have to close this idea as "declined" for now.

Neberu to tragicky. A ano pouzivam Locus tak casto. Proto jsem se snazil aby byl Locus dokonalej. Dark theme nevyresi tento problem ani nahodou. Vypalene mam prave ty mista kde je tmavesedy panel. Takze pas ikonek nahore, vpravo a dole. To znamena, ze by musel existovat light theme! A komu to vadi at si koupi IPS.

A jeste sem hodim obrazek. Zkusil jsem to vyfotit. Vlevo Locus a vpravo je nejky sw na sviceni, to jen abych nejak ziskal bilou plochu.

Nicméně jak jsem psal, vyrobit inverzní téma pro celý projekt, je trošku moc velké sousto, opravdu. Alespoň pro mě teď. Možná se práce s tématy časem trošku zjednodušší a pak by to nemusel být takový problém. Uvidíme.

If I remember correctly, this topic is almost two years old. With new changes I'm currently doing in Locus themes & Android L, this topic is now again possible. Not so simple, but possible. So happy voting.

I know it doesn't help fully like a dark color scheme, but are users aware of the Night mode? I used it recently for cycle touring at night, and it was fantastic. Well done Locus team.

Good day to all,
unfortunately I have to announce, that with increasing complexity of Locus Map, this idea is going to be more and more complicated. To be true, imagination that I'll create a secondary theme, is my small nightmare.
So excuse me, but I have to close this idea and stop your hopes.
Thank you for understanding and I hope, there will not be a lot of sad faces!

So if the idea is declined, at least this application should help during high hunting:

Personally I use it and I don't complain for eyes burning;)

Thanks a lot to both of you! I'll give it a try...

Hello guys,
after five years, I'm changing the status of this topic to "Completed". The native dark mode is now available in Locus Map 47. Enjoy it.
