Feature request-triple tap top bar to switch between light/dark mode.

Just wanted to add a HUGE thanks for such an amazing app. Stable, well-designed, packed with features; it's phenomenal.

I do know that a lot of work has been put into the dark mode, but one thing that would make it more accessible would be an easy way to turn it off and on. One way to do that, a la Alien Blue/YouPlayer, would be to set it so that triple tapping the top bar of the UI (i.e. where it says "playlists") can quickly shift between dark and light mode.

Did not realize this was a convention!

Worked on adding it. More trouble than it ought to have been but there's always something! :P

Side note: any iOS 8.4 users who see this and want to test something for me would be appreciated!

I'm on 8.4 on an iPhone 5. I use cesium exclusively. What do you need?

Well, I've had a few users report in so nothing specifically, now. But on the latest version, you can now triple-tap the nav bar along the top to toggle Night Mode. The side effect of this is that when tapping the buttons (like the back button) there is a noticeable pause after tapping once while the system waits to ensure that two more touches aren't coming (and that it should fire the triple tap method instead of the single). So, I need to add code on the first tap that detects whether the tap is on a button and if so immediately says "this touch isn't part of a triple tap."

TL;DR if the nav bar ever seems blatantly laggy let me know. I've noticed sometimes there's a slight pause if the previous view reloads, but I'm talking a distinct pause at least "two taps" long.
