I really like night mode, with one exception, the grey text is hard to read in some lighting conditions. In some future version, could we get a setup like that but with the grey text a lighter color? I'm talking about the article list here, I know the various pages can define their own colors once you open the article.

I get that I'm not really using it "as intended", but I prefer "inverted" apps with the black background as a general rule. Just a thought that would be nice in a future version, maybe even just let the user define the UI colors? More work that way, but then everyone can STFU and set it how they want it. :)

I don't think there will be a theme editor, but a high contrast theme is likely to happen. FWIW the current low contrast theme is aimed at reading at night and so should work for sleepy eyes.

Hi  Mariano,

current Night theme is great except one little detail which is still very light/bright. 
When long pressing on article or feed to get menu where you can mark all read and other options background is still white so it's hard on eyes at night...

Any chance to make it dark as other backgrounds?

Best regards

Shouldn't this be the JB release now? ICS is a bit old hat. ;-)
