    I don't know if this has been answered but...will the dark theme shipping with the Q10 be available for the Z10 with the OS 10.1 rollout? I know it's not necessary but black bezel demands black theme! Lol

    No.

    The Q10 uses a AMOLED display that benefits from a dark theme to conserve battery life. The Z10 will actually use more battery life using a dark theme.

    P.S. We do get a dark theme for the share menu in 10.1. It looks nice.

    I've heard dark colours all around actually is better for battery life regarding of screen type.
    I like the look of the dark theme, so here's to hoping the Z10 gets it to.
    I think they should all be uniform, that way the whole line doesn't look fragmented.

    Yes, we have heard from many people all the opinions of the battery effects. There are many people who simply don't care about that and just think it looks nicer. Why can't it be an option?

    Because those same people will start complaining about sh!tty battery life lol. I'd love a dark theme, but i don't think it will happen.

    I would definitely like to see the z10 get a black theme with the update.

    The dark theme is on the Z10 and developers can choose to release their apps using it (I did just that in the TI emulator). The light theme is just the default for the Z10 and the dark theme is the default on the Q10.

    As of this time, no. Just because. It looks better some people, including me, but don't count on it any time soon. They have bigger fish to fry.
