As already mentioned above, on Android 9, the changes will practically not affect the system, while in the 10th version of the operating system "darken" almost completely.

The inclusion of the design of the design of the version of the design in them is performed on the same algorithm as in the case being considered above - it suffices to refer to the screen settings and select the appropriate mode.
Option 3: Separate applications
Even before the official release of the dark theme on Android, many application developers began to gradually add them the ability to select the appropriate design option. Among those messengers, social networks, browsers, banking and postal clients, players, taking place, organizers and others. Some of them simply adjust the color of their interface to the one that is installed in the system, not allowing it to choose it yourself, but most still provide such an opportunity. It will also be useful for cases when for one reason or another the dark theme is not available in the operating system (for example, due to its outdated version).
In most cases, to change the color of the interface, you must pass along the "Settings" path - "Design" (or "topic") and select the preferred option. Some of them have more obvious items, often presented in the main menu and called "Night Topic" / "Night Mode". Show several examples.
