[All Platforms] Light Mode option

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.

Hey folks,

 

This idea has been moved to a wrong place in the forum but is now back in its place.

 

We're keeping the status of Not Right Now as we still don't have any immediate plans to implement this, however, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status if we have any news to share.

 

Thanks!

Light mode is much better during day time.

Cmone! We need white mode on Spoti ASAP

Dark theme on the desktop puts strain on the eyes. 
It is difficult to read white text on black background. 

At least change black background to a grey one. 
This is a fundamental change and please make it as a priority.

Light theme solution for iPhone.

 

Smart Invert in iOS

1. Open settings.

2. Search for Per-App Settings and add Spotify to the list.

3. Select Spotify from the list and look for Smart Invert option and turn it on. (You don't want to turn it on for entire iOS).

4. Restart Spotify app. 

 

For desktop use Spicetifyhttps://spicetify.app/

Like many here, have a very hard time reading white text on this black background. very stressful to focus. I like to read the snips on the music bands but just can't.  Like with many modern apps, a light theme option would be great.

Android has a similar feature. Pull down from top and choose "invert colors".

I'm a new premium Spotify user and was surprised there's no light mode. Please give us option to switch theme
