Android News: Burned out retinas rejoice as Android M has dark theme

If you are one of the Android fans who is irked by the extensive white screen real estate used by the operating system, Google has a little treat in store for you when Android M is finally released. Developers already poking into the new operating system have discovered Google has added a new dark theme.

Currently the setting for a theme is buried in the Developer Settings and appears to only work on the settings screens. However, we have seen how Google’s Material Design is able to change colors for several screen elements in Android L already, so it is not a stretch to see themes extend to the whole operating system.

For now, in addition to the new dark theme, Google also included an Automatic setting that will switch the theme based on the device’s clock.
