Spark is a popular email client on the iOS side of the world. As a user of Android, if you have not heard about it, it is because the messaging application has been switched to Android only this year. Although it took a long time, he arrived just in time to replace the Google Inbox application. Around the same time Google launched the beloved Inbox app, Spark for Android came out. There could be no better timing because the best of all its features is that it's a great alternative to the inbox, if not perfect. Now you can also enable dark mode on Spark for Android.
The alternative to the inbox
Spark is a Readdle application that creates truly amazing iOS applications, some of which are used by myself. The quality and details of the design, features and functionality are very consistent among their applications. Spark for Android is no different. It's not the most customizable, feature-rich email client, or the easiest email application to use. Still, Spark achieves an almost perfect balance between the three. It offers enough customizations for the application to work as you want, while maintaining the simplicity and intuitiveness of the inbox.
From customizable gestures to the buttons and actions that appear when you open an email, Spark lets you choose your own path. Meanwhile, the smart inbox feature removes any unnecessary clutter.
The new Spark update introduces a dark mode that is not completely disabled by default. However, you may never know if you are using a version lower than Android 10. By default, the application is set to change from a bright theme to a dark theme based on the default system theme. Everything on Android 10 does not have a system-wide dark mode. Unless you change it or hack it in one way or another. You can still manually enable dark mode on Spark for Android.
Enable dark mode on Spark for Android
- Launch Spark for Android.
- Tap on the hamburger menu icon at the top left.
- To select Settings at the bottom of the menu drawer.
- Select the Themes option.
- You will see the System fault is the option selected by default, but there are also other options.
- Select the dark theme and you will see the interface darken immediately.
Another thing that you can or can not notice is how much this transition from the light theme to the dark theme (or vice versa) is fluid. Usually, the change in other applications is not as fluid, although it is not bad either. These are small details that make the experience remarkably better. The new dark mode is not only more pleasant for the eyes, but if you read the emails at night, it is also friendly to the battery. In addition, in the Themes section, there is also a rocker allowing Dark mode in HTML emails. This is again a small detail that greatly influences the experience.
