    It has been brought to my attention that BB is considering switching the dark theme on the Q10 because of complaints from people who find it hard to read. I myself don't want to see the dark theme gone completely, I wouldn't mind the option to toggle between light/dark but i'd hate for them to get rid of it so if you share my sentiment let them know.

    I couldn't agree more. The darker theme is something I really prefer -- and am saddened to see it replaced in certain core apps in OS10.2.

    Question to anyone that knows...
    If the sys.pim calendar bar file fixes the calendar. If I rip the sys.pim for (contacts text and bbm) bar files from the 10.1 and flash them over the 10.2 will that get me back to the dark themed bliss of the Q10 prior to 10.2?
    OR is my answer already in another thread I haven't found yet?

    It used to be you could just use the old bar files, but it's not that simple anymore...

    Dark themes also help prolong battery life on devices with Amoled screens.

    Thank you!!
    I am so 2 steps from trying. Files have been ripped... I am just afraid to duck up something. I was hoping that someone already tried or know why it doesn't work. Thanks again!

    Well if BlackBerry is stopping it and not putting it into the OS I would think someone would have to build a hybrid.
    Hey Kris is there anyway to have this done.

    I don't care for the dark theme myself but I can't imagine why they couldn't just leave both in.

    I really prefer the contrast of the dark themes. I really think they could make everyone happy by using a default white theme, but having an advanced / display option to utilize dark. Probably a lot more work to install a feature like that than to change a background hex color code though...

    Please keep the option for dark theme. I love it. Please, please please give us options. Why change settings to dark and move text and bbm to white. Makes no sense to me. Just give us options please blackberry.

    Exactly, which is why I chose to use a black wallpaper.

    Cool. I believe they'll look into it. Just like CharredPC said, putting it as an option requires more work than simply changing the background color.

    The dark theme makes the q10 very special. Personally, I find the contrast better for reading and it reduces battery consumption because of the way oled screens work. Please retain system wide dark theme or have give us a black/white switch option. 10.2 MUST have this once it's official.

    Question: Why can't they just have two different themes that you can change in the option menu? Just asking. Seems like a very primitive feature.
