No Dark Theme option for Android cTrader 4.7.54401 release?
04 May 2023, 03:58


According to this release:

we should have a "dark theme" for the cTrader mobile app.

I have version 4.7.54401 of the Spotware cTrader mobile app and have no apparent options to enable any kind of "dark theme". Even the dark theme option under the charts has gone, so I'm stuck with a bright application on a white background.

How do we enable the dark theme?

Hi firemyst,

The new theme feature is set on the device level. So you need to set your device's theme as dark for cTrader to switch to dark mode.

Thanks @PanagiotisChar

Why did they change it to the device level??

Other apps allow us to set "light", "dark", or "device default" in their settings. How come @Spotware couldn't do that with cTrader?

Like writing emails, most people have those apps in light mode; now I want to use cTrader with dark charts... I gotta switch over the entire phone? They couldn't even leave the option at the chart level?

Hi firemyst,

I have no insight into the decision making process. I just explain how it works :)

I know. All's good. I'm not pointing fingers or anything at you :-)

I just can't believe some of the decisions Spotware makes at times. Almost every other app has developers that give users the choice of using a light, dark, or default system theme for using their software on mobile devices. Why Spotware decided to not do this as well (since they already had it as an option for charts) is just mind boggling.
