We recently gave you a taste of what to expect from the newest night mode on the market in the form of OnePlus’ Nightscape, but how does it stack up against one of the other best night shooters that aren’t from Google?
For the last couple versions of Android, the mobile operating system has been offering a “Night Light” mode which tints the display red. Google has been working on this exact same feature for some time now for Chrome OS, and it’s now live for those on the Dev channel…
Chrome OS’ developer and canary channel are constantly bringing new features to the table, and as Android apps slowly make their way to different Chromebooks, Google is playing around with adding features from Android to Chrome OS. In the latest update to the developer channel, Chrome OS has added the option to tweak the color temperature.
Night mode is an excellent feature for mobile phones, but it first rose to popularity on the computer, with useful apps such as f.lux. Most platforms have an option to activate this in one way or another, but Chrome OS unfortunately never has — until now, as Google is bringing a built-in night mode to the operating system.
Twitter for Android adding a Night mode last year was a remarkably welcomed addition and made me stick with the official client. But for those who actually only use it during night hours and frequently switch to the light theme, Twitter is testing an automatic Night mode.
While the Android N Developer Preview 3 removed a system-level dark mode, apps can still automatically switch between day and night modes. Introduced as part of the Android Support Library 23.2 in February, developers can now easily add a night mode that switches based on the time of day and location. Twitter appears to be A/B testing a night mode in the alpha version of its app.
