Dark Mode and Color Themes are the core of FolkPatch's visual system, providing light/dark mode switching, intelligent color management, and theme export mechanisms.

Dark Mode System

FolkPatch supports flexible mode control, allowing you to freely switch based on ambient lighting or system settings:

  • Follow System (Auto Adaptive): Automatically syncs with Android system's light/dark settings.
  • Force Mode: Regardless of system status, you can force "Always Light" or "Always Dark" mode.
  • Smart Export Saving: When exporting and sharing a theme, the system will fully save your current mode preference (Light/Dark/Adaptive), ensuring other users get consistent visual settings when importing.

Color Themes & Material You

The system supports multiple color sources:

  • Material You Dynamic Colors: On Android 12+ devices, supports extracting core tones from wallpaper to automatically generate a complete set of UI colors.
  • Custom Theme Color: Built-in multiple color palettes (such as Indigo, Pink, Emerald, etc.), supporting manual specification of accent colors for interactive elements.
  • Follow System Accent Color: Supports directly reading the system's accent color settings, keeping FolkPatch consistent with the phone system.

Design Language: M3E

FolkPatch adopts the M3E (Material 3 Expressive) design language. M3E is the expressive evolution of Material Design 3, expanding the following aspects while maintaining foundational MD3 specifications:

  • Larger Corners & More Flexible Shape System: Component corner radii are larger.
  • Enhanced Color Expression: Building on Material You dynamic colors, provides richer color layers.
  • More Expressive Typography: Font size contrast is stronger, with clearer hierarchy between headings and body text.
  • Dynamic & Responsive Layout: Component spacing and padding are more flexible, better adapting to different screen sizes and content densities.

M3E spans FolkPatch's entire interface, including settings pages, all theme templates, and dialog components.

Global Feature Integration

Dark mode is not just about color changes; it also triggers a series of global feature integrations:

  • Dual-Cut Transparency Auto-Adaptation: When entering dark mode, card background transparency automatically fine-tunes to enhance text contrast in low light.
  • Color Depth Optimization: Dark mode automatically reduces color saturation and increases contrast, reducing visual fatigue during extended use.

How to Set Up

  1. Go to Personalization Settings > Global Features.
  2. Find the Dark Mode & Colors option.
  3. Set your Theme Mode (Light, Dark, Adaptive).
  4. Select your Color Theme source (Wallpaper extraction, Preset palette, or Follow system).

提示

Enabling "Dark Mode Follow System" combined with "Material You Dynamic Colors" is the recommended configuration for the most native visual experience.
