Dark/light theme android

Post by Xizor23 »

Hi,
I have dark theme on my Phone and for a long time there was no problem with light theme in bga app. But recently i had to reinstall app and bga app has dark theme too. I have to change theme on light in my Phone settings to back to light theme/background in bga app. Do you know how to set dark theme on Phone but leave light theme in bga app? Some games doesnt work properly with dark theme...

BGA doesn't officially support dark theme, so anything that looks that way on Android is likely due to an OS or browser setting.

I wonder if there is a way to configure Chrome such that certain websites ignore the general dark mode setting?

Ahh, I see. The BGA app uses Chrome web view, but I don't know if it has some setting behind the scenes that might be causing the light/dark behavior.

Sometimes apps will take on your phone's setting for dark/light and have no way to change it to something apart from changing your phone theme. That said, I'm running with dark theme (I always do) but BGA is light-theme on mobile for me. Although I probably haven't updated it in a while...

Personally for BGA I use Kiwi Browser which allows you to install chrome extensions, and I use the dark mode of my extension :)
