[All Platforms] Light Mode option

[audiovrd]

Hi,

The new white text on black design physically hurts my eyes and gives very bad ghosting (i.e. persistent image like those in optical illusions that make you stare at particular color combinations and then look away). I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've researched it in the past. Without an option to switch back to the old design (White background/black text), I'll need to delete my Spotify account and find another service. Please add an option to switch between the two (because I know many prefer black backgrounds). Myself and a host of others, however, cannot use these color combinations. Please let me know if there is a work-around; it would be much appreciated. It's basically unusable to me in it's current state.

We need this... 

Im going blind at this rate and is a big deal breaker

People are suggesting we go to another service. 

No Way I'm doing that!!!!!!!

I've tried Amazon Music, Apple Music and Google Music. 

They absolutely SUUUUUCK compared to Spotify. 

So I'd rather get used to this dark theme than go to those junk services. 

ESPECAILLY NOW WHEN SPOTIFY NEEDS US.

The big corporations are totally trying to kill them and I'm not falling for it.

Yet the smaller corporations are not listening to customer feedback, something they should be doing better.

[Smooch]

Yes, no question about it. 

They should be listening. 

However I'm not moving because of this.

For everyone that has to deal with pain due to the color scheme, try “Smart Invert”. It’s a mode you can find on IOS devices that will give you a white with black text design when opening Spotify (Settings^General^Accessibility^Display Accommodations^Invert Colors). Hope this was helpful!

If this would be possible for just one app, then it would be cool, but it will change the design for the whole device and so I'm getting a black background in general 😞

SO! I downloaded Xpotify from the Microsoft app store. It's a PWA and works really well. After using today, I just paid for the Pro version ($1.99); it doesn't give any more options or capabilities, but it's just a way to support the developer. I am now playing my Spotify playlists using a light theme background. Hallelujah! Hopefully the developer will give us Xpotify PWA on Android and iOS!

Please implement the white theme! It's really hard for the eyes to switch among white windows to black window and then back. :'(

I’m curious, why not? Seemingly simple thing to do with HUGE value
