Our tipsters have it, and so do a few people on Reddit. But starting yesterday, more users seem to be getting the dark theme. We knew Drive was working on it, but thought its appearance for some users might have been a bug or unintentional rollout, as the majority didn't have it and there was no way to activate it. Right around the time Drive received its new Material update last month, we got a couple of tips of a dark mode. The latest to test the waters of a dark mode is Google Drive. Google in 2017-2018: "Whiten all the things!" Google in late 2018-2019: "Darken all the things!" Things have evolved from the eye-searing white and every few days, we see a new app embrace its darker side and offer a black or dark grey mode for sensitive eyeballs and AMOLED displays.
If you don't see the dark mode right away, force close the app then reopen it, that did the trick for me. It's a slow rollout though, so you need to grab version 2.19.192.05 from APK Mirror if you don't have it. If you are using Firefox, this is most likely a browser bug, use another mode for such websites. Now, the mode is officially available according to the app's changelog and should be live for everyone, without any hijinks, in the latest version. Although there was a workaround to get Drive's dark mode on any device, it was a complicated process.Also, I have to change the text color every line break or else it defaults back to black and blends in with the page.ĭoes anyone happen to have any ideas what could have triggered this odd (and admittedly not life-altering) change, and how to fix it? it's not a huge deal or anything, but it's pretty annoying. The saved files also show that they're a black page with white text. I have to fiddle with settings to turn the page black with each document. Yesterday, it started showing me a white page with default black font color, although the UI on the sides and the top are still dark as usual. docx files for uploading to freelance clients' Drive folders. When saved, the files appeared as a white page with black text, which makes it easy to export them as. Normally, it shows a black page with default white text in the editor, which makes it easier on my eyes to write for extended periods.
I've had dark mode set for Google apps, I believe, and haven't had an issue with Docs in particular until yesterday. Hey there, I'm using a Lenovo Duet and overall love its versatility since I got it several months ago, despite the smallish keyboard.
