      This thread is clearly way out of hand. I'm closing it down so we can all take a much-needed breather.

      Regarding the dark theme itself, there was a quote from me earlier in the thread that remains to be the last official message, I'll include it below for convenience. The team is looking into the colors of the app. I don't have specific details that I can let you in on today, but stay tuned for some upcoming updates.

      As to the tone of this conversation, we should all take a few minutes to calm down. Please don't attack any posters or throw around accusations that aren't at all meaningful or helpful to the discussion. Tone is hard to do in text sometimes, I know that, but this needs to remain a friendly and open board for communication. We all need to work with each other and respect the fact that everyone is entitled to opinions. You're welcome to disagree with community members, but please remain respectful or you won't be welcome here.

      Please feel free to message me directly if you have any questions or concerns. I'm happy to address them privately.

      Hi everyone, we appreciate the feedback all around.

      The team is listening and working to incorporate your feedback into the new app. You'll see some changes coming to the next versions of the app. They're looking into the brightness of the app and working on ways to balance the contrast. They're also looking into ways to improve the general flow of the app, and streamline navigation.

      Thanks for sharing and please let us know what you think as the app develops.

      And if you would have scrolled up, you would've read.the statement we were discussing, which literally states there are no plans to go back to black.
      As of now, I have no information about a Dark Mode, but I am happy to pass this along to the team as a feature request. Thank you for the feedback!

      Your welcome ;)

      Ryan's post was after the one you quote, a mere 19 hours ago, which would make it about 3 o'clock San Diego time. Things change, bub. It is almost like Sonos has finalized a release and gave the go ahead late on a Friday for their reps to start giving more details on what is in it, indicating the release may be coming real soon. But nah, Sonos would never do that, they don't respect their customers! 🆒

      So what's your point? If anything this shows how questionable sonos' communication strategy is in all this. If you have info, share it. And if you don't want to do that, just say so instead of placating your customers with empty statements.

      And I really hope you are wrong btw, and that we are not getting yet another release without proper testing and feedback.

        Uhhhh, I believe they actually did share it. First you complain they never share. Now when they do share, you complain about how much they share and call it placating. Then after weeks of complaining about no quick releases addressing the problems, you now complain about them possibly releasing too soon without adequate testing? Well, goalposts successfully moved! Guess there is just no, uhhh, placating you. :8

        And once again, you have no idea what type of testing has been done on any release. The vast majority of releases have no public beta testing. That has no bearing on the extent of private testing done. Stop making assumptions which are not supported by facts.

        So what's your point?

        There really is no point in trying to reason with jgatie. He will always have the last word and the forum moderators apparently don't care if he drives of Sonos customers away by insulting and belittling them on a regular basis.

          I've called to task two members today who go out of their way to attack me and others every chance they get simply for disagreeing with them. I've helped dozens in other threads. Do the math.

          To you, "called to task" must be equivalent to insult and demean. Do you not see that your beligerant responses are hurting Sonos' business? I honestly don't understand why Sonos allows you to treat their customers this way.

            Maybe they think people who are never going to be satisfied going forward aren't worth saving as customers. Or maybe I serve the purpose of saying things an actual Sonos rep cannot, but never the less, need to be said. Either way, I'm sorry your effort to get me banned has fallen on deaf ears.

            Besides, my responses are in kind to the treatment I get. One only need to look at the abuse heaped on John B and Chris, whose tone is nothing like mine, to see the hypocrisy at work. If you were truly worried about the tone of people's posts and not simply obsessed with me because I disagree and back it up, you would be defending those nice guys who mostly try to help, in addition to those you feel are my "victims".

              The Sonos position seems to be that they like jgatie hitting back against any shade to the brand no matter how belligerent, demeaning or insulting he gets.

              They wouldn't tolerate it otherwise.

                Yeah because the people calling Sonos employees morons, incompetent, stupid, etc. are not belligerent, demeaning, or insulting? You guys crack me up. Show a little shock at those posts and I'll start believing your faux outrage is actually based on how I post and not what I post.
