How to implement dark mode in Adalo?

Step 1: Create a New Screen for Dark Mode

Alright, first things first. To handle dark mode in Adalo, you need a separate screen that will serve as your dark mode template. Just duplicate your existing screens and tweak their design elements to match dark mode specs.

Step 2: Modify Colors to Suit Dark Mode

Now, in those duplicated screens, switch up the background colors, text colors, and other design elements to fit a dark mode theme. Usually, this means darker backgrounds and lighter text colors. Simple, right?

Step 3: Add a Toggle Button for Dark Mode

Next, add a toggle button or switch somewhere easy to find in your app, like the settings page. This button will let users flip between light and dark modes.

Step 4: Create a True/False Property

In your database, add a new property for users called Dark Mode Enabled, with a True/False value. This will store whether the user prefers dark mode or not.

Step 5: Implement the Toggle Button Logic

Set up an action for your toggle button to change the Dark Mode Enabled property for the logged-in user. If the button is toggled on, set the property to True; if toggled off, set it to False. Easy peasy.

Step 6: Conditional Navigation

Set up conditional actions for navigation based on the user's Dark Mode Enabled property. For example, when moving from the home screen to any other screen, use a conditional action to check if Dark Mode Enabled is True or False and navigate to the correct light or dark mode screen.

Step 7: Test Your Implementation

Test switching between light and dark modes by toggling the button and making sure the app navigates to the right screen based on the user's settings.

Step 8: Consistent Updates

Make sure every new screen or feature you add includes both light and dark mode versions. This will need ongoing maintenance but ensures a consistent user experience.

Step 9: Publish Updates

Once everything's verified, publish your updates so users can start using the dark mode feature within your app.
