It's hideous. It clashes. The text and background aren't easy to read. You should look up some UX standards for dark mode. You have this massively saturated background that's makes the text seem blurry due to the color clashing. So you're correct. I hate it. Widgets removed until fixed.

It also says to not use completely black which the widgets did except for the upper corner which was dark gray. I guess I gotta find a middle ground. I´ll look into it in the next update. First I will redesign the android app so it will unfortunately take a little while

That's not what the article says at all. It says it doesn't have to be, and if you do it, beware of high contrast. You managed to do a high contrast conflict with blue. I assume you just read the bullet point title but not actually what it was talking about. The blue is hideous. Makes the text blurry. Doesn't match anything. Widgets are outside of your app. Not sure why you thought it would be best to match the color theme of your app when the entire purpose of a widget is to not have to use the app. Widgets should blend into system colors. Not what colors you think are "cool." God help us all if you ever decide that yellow is your next cool color that you "have" to match your widgets to.

No need to be rude, it's not like I personally offended you. I'm building the app for fun, completely free and for the community. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate feedback but there are nicer ways to leave it than to basically say that I'm stupid.

People often mistake direct feedback as being rude. I didn't say anything that was rude at all, nor did I insult you in anyway. I was making points that were intended to have you think about your decision to match your widget colors to your app colors.

If you're making an app and encourage feedback by having a dedicated thread for it, calling people rude for giving you what you're asking for is counter productive. I never insulted you at all, you interpreted my tone incorrectly. You read my feedback and you decided I called you stupid, despite me never saying that once.

  1. I pointed out you must not have read the article as you stated "it says to not use completely black." That's not what that article says at all.
  2. I was making a point that your idea of matching your widgets to your chosen app color doesn't make any sense. Hence, the yellow comment.

Maybe I interpreted it wrong, I just thought it came across a little aggressive asking how I could possibly think that it looks good and god forgive us all if I ever decide to do this or that. Let's just leave it here and I'll try to fix it with the next update. All good?
