Dark Mode is one of those features that has become quite popular over time. In addition to that we can find it on practically any mobile device. Basically because we managed that our smartphone not only completely changed the interface to show us the panel with darker tones, but we even achieved greater efficiency in the OLED panels and lower battery consumption by the terminal itself.
In addition, the Chinese firm is updating its mobiles to the new version of ColorOS , with which more options are added, since we will be facing a much more complete functionality than was available in previous versions. For this reason, the Chinese firm has not stopped working on the different improvements that can be applied in this new user interface, so it is time to discover how it is enabled and how we can customize it to our needs.
Enable Dark Mode in ColorOS 11
Before going to know the different configurations that have been added to this functionality with the latest version of the OPPO software layer, it is necessary to know how it has to be enabled on the smartphone itself. Although, luckily, it is much simpler and faster than it was when the Dark Mode of this company’s mobiles was in previous versions. In addition, with the arrival of ColorOS 11 , different settings are added that we did not find before on their smartphones.
Therefore, in order to activate the theme with dark tones of our mobiles with the OPPO personalization layer , we will have to go to the Settings of our mobile phone and access the Screen and brightness section. Once we are inside, we can see a menu that is dedicated to this well-known functionality. Then, we will only have to activate the switch that appears so that the smartphone begins to change to the new mode.
From that moment on, the entire mobile interface will change, going from light to dark tones, including the system applications, although different aspects can be adjusted from this latest version of its layer.
Configure this function on your OPPO mobile
In recent months, we have been able to see how this section is being taken into account by the different manufacturers of mobile devices. More than anything because it is an improvement both for eyestrain and for the simple fact that it helps us save energy on our phones. For this reason, the new OPPO menu has decided to go a step further to offer us a more customizable experience.
Since version 7.0 , the possibility of enabling it without having to access the device settings has even been included. Only, we will have to enter the Quick Panel or Quick Settings of our OPPO mobile and click on the Dark Mode option. And if we want to access its settings, we will only have to press said switch for two seconds.
In the event that it does not appear in the shortcuts of the control center , we will have to add it by editing the icons that are displayed by clicking on the icon that has the shape of a pencil drawing on paper.
If in the version of ColorOS 7.0, for example, you could choose between the default styles of light (white color) or dark (black tone). With the latest version of the Asian company’s software layer we will have a new submenu that will be accessed as follows: Settings> Screen and brightness> Activating this Dark Mode> Dark Mode Settings .
In this way, with the new version we will be able to choose between three tones within this functionality. That is, once we have reached this point, both the three new tones and other configurations will appear, since they will not only let us choose the type of tone that we want for this mode. Also, we can choose different options to adjust both the backgrounds and the icons with this functionality activated.
- Enhanced: This shade is basically pure black. Very important to save battery, especially in mobile devices with AMOLED panels.
- Medium: has a blue hue that is between enhanced and soft. Ideal for the last hours of the day.
- Soft: we will have a darker gray that we can apply at any time, also intended for those users who do not like the terminal screen to be completely white.
More settings this way
The reality is that, with the arrival of ColorOS 11 to the smartphones of the Chinese company, the terminals in the catalog of this brand will have a lot of features. They will even serve to a great extent to improve the experience of its users.
In addition to that, with this version of your software, we will have many more options to customize the user interface of your smartphones. The truth is that previously we could already configure in some way this functionality of these mobile devices in different ways. Although, with this latest version of your layer, we will have more adjustments at our disposal, which join previous functions such as programming.
Of course, with this latest version they also include new functions such as screen design, icon styles, improved dark mode and color schemes. Therefore, thanks to having this latest update that the Asian manufacturer has developed, we can configure the following options:
- Set wallpapers to Dark Mode .
- Set the icons to Dark Mode .
- Reduce contrast in low light conditions .
Also, as we said, we can activate a customized activation, that is, if we click on “Schedule time” we can choose the time that we want. When accessing this option, an options tab will open. Once in it, we will have to mark the time when it will be enabled and when it will be automatically deactivated.
And although more and more applications are adapting to this functionality, there are still many that need to be adapted. However, this layer has an extra option that allows you to force “ Dark Mode in third-party applications ”. Of course, it must be clear that it is a function that is still in beta. So it will not work as well in the different applications that we have installed on our mobile.
