It’s not going to happen.

This took YEARS and isn’t finished yet. Votes mean nada.

Dark mode ≠ black, and never has

Well this just goes to show that Monzo can never win. They implement something and literally within minutes people are on to the next version of the thing they want 🤷🏻‍♂️ They’ll implement ‘true’ dark mode next and then people will want rainbow mode…

It’s easy enough to ignore requests at least, they’ve got dark mode boxed off just needs to be cosmetically finished. They’ll be more pressing things to do then get the black ink out hopefully.

But certain features are already in there and just need turning on from the monzo servers, so it’s possible to activate feature(s) without a new software version - they’re called ‘feature flags’ and the ones I’m watching are: boolean name="dark\_mode\_support\_enabled" value="false" /\> boolean name="themes\_enabled" value="false" /\> boolean name="really\_dark\_theme\_enabled" value="false" /\> When Monzo switches the flag on, when the app nex…

I wonder if the “really\_dark\_theme” mentioned here is what people are asking for?

I use the middle (“Dim”) of these three options on Twitter and it is pretty much where the Monzo Labs is now:

And I am personally fine with that for now as I find the last option “Lights out” a bit bleak

Maybe the “really dark” mentions will bring something like that
