Why are there suddenly random bright colors everywhere in my dark mode?

Updated the app trying to fix the front page loading bug and now I'm getting flash banged by my screen when I open an image, or even my own profile with a bright blue banner I didn't ask for. Exceedingly unpleasant. Is there any way to roll back to an older version without all this?

I think you're referring to the banner placeholder when viewing a profile? If so I can darken it for dark mode users, certainly don't intend on flash banging anyone. Cheers!

Edit: is Settings: Dim bright backgrounds enabled?

It is, yeah.

*And, tbh, an option for just black backgrounds would be much preferred. The constantly changing colors are not pleasant.

I'll see what I can do in the next release. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi, this is now available on beta v236 under Settings: Force Black image backgrounds

I just got the new update and the new setting is perfect. Thank you!

Since the last update its been a little buggy. Nothing bad so far tho.

Doesn't seem like a bug to me. More like a very unwanted change.

Why doesn't it seem like a bug to you? What you're describing has never happened to me so I doubt it's an intended change

Your updated app doesn't have these random colors?
