Adapt theme to light conditions

[merkste]

Under low light conditions the light design is too bright and puts a strain on the eyes. Thus, a nice thing to have would be an option to switch between light and dark theme automagically using the light sensor.

dark theme	( )

That would be cool. A transition theme, one capable to adapt to Low-Mid-High/direct, indirect Light. All with lute impact on the system resources.

That alone would be a great achievement on its own.

The Dark Theme is your friend. ;-)

Yes! Hello SMS on Google Play has this feature and it works very well. Hopefully Textsecure will have this feature in the future because it's my favorite SMS app. ✉

I would like to add here that using the dark theme, I cannot see the date and time in daylight because the font is not bright enough.
This is especially troubling for persons > 50 years of age - hardly ever can they read the date and time of sent/received messages, even indoors!

Yes please! This would be so useful, I currently keep swapping between light and dark theme
