Question

Dark theme option for SONOS controller

I sometimes use the SONOS controller (on a tablet) in environments where the room lights have been dimmed at night and so find the current white background on the contoller very bright and intrusive.

Am I missing a setting that can change this, or is there a work around available?

If not, are there any plans for SONOS to introduce Skins, or at the very least a dark theme option?

Thanks

Couple thoughts - how about dimming your tablet screen brightness? Also, are you using an iPad? Try the Night Shift display setting. Nice warm tones instead of harsh daylight brightness.

If its a Windows 10 tablet, try our Sonos app, which includes a dark mode.

I second this. Would love to see a dark theme option. I use fire tablets throughout my house and the white is too harsh.

Yeah dark theme was much better. I hate the new UI theme. White

I did not want to say, I hate it, but I second that. We use the app in our bedrooms and now it is unbearable.
Dark, black background option. Please.

I agree the black one was nicer for your eyes, why not add a toggle for the backgroud black/white? everybody happy?

When I got the new UI, the absolute first thing I looked for was how to get rid of the white background. Return to dark or provide a toggle please.

I'm really unhappy that the dark screen has disappeared from the new app. My old eyes can't take the contrast and brightness at night. It is a basic accessibility feature which has now been taken away from me. Please reinstate ASAP.
