My main point of access to the club's forums is by using the Tapatalk forum app on my smartphone.
This is mainly because I have teenage kids, so I don't get a look in on the home computer. For those of you who do the same, have you tried the app in dark mode? I switched dark mode on the other day and now I'm totally sold on it. Not only is the white or grey text on a black background easier to read IMO, but it has massively reduced the drain on my phone battery. Just thought I'd share that for anyone like me, using a slightly outdated phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 in my case) whose battery has maybe seen better days. |

Got to love tapatalk. Yes I've gone for the dark background as well.

I've always used it in Dark Mode, as said, much easier on the eyes

I've used dark mode from day 1 only 1 issue is that when blue text is used (a couple users here do) its very hard to read it, at least it is for me anyway.
As for battery power the Samsung galaxy's use OLED screens which use less power on dark colours and if you had a black page the screen wouldn't be using any power as they are effectively off |

for Android it's under the heading look & feel, very first option in the settings, not sure how it's laid out in the maxipads. I'd suggest just going through every single menu option you can find, though keep an eye out for look & feel
