[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!

I don't want to clean the display every time I launch Spotify.

Serious Spotify !!
Almost 10 years old this tread and you are stubbornly refuse to implement this simply feature.
I have not suffered earlier, but as more and more apps and webpages go for the dark team, than it s  impossibly to see where one window is when placed on top of an other dark team app/page.

 

If you really think you are right, than pull a poll, invite spotify users from/inside the app to vote.
* I only wish for Dark Team, like today.
* I only wish for light Team, as for who remember when any longer...
* I wish the option to switch between dark and light mode.
* I don't care about the color mode.

That is if you wish for some real feedback from many of your customers.
But perhaps this is one of those where you just wont accept that you could been wrong from the beginning.
Don't be so Swedish. Be more like the Finnish and admit (if the poll prove that) that you where wrong and fix it asp.

Spotify customer care is arrogant.

They keep telling me that light mode feature is not in their plan. Come on! 10 years!

Light mode is a basic feature and it's not something big that customers are asking for.

You can just copy from Apple Music as you have been doing so far with other features!

 

As a business owner what anyone in their right mindset will do....quickly deliver the most asked features to the customers.

 

Spotify is full of people with sheer stupidity, arrogance and lack of empathy for customers.

Because of this I moved on to Apple Music and will never go back again to Spotify, even if it pays me to listen to music or becomes a number one music service. (It will never become top tier though. Maybe if CEO fires himself along with the product managers/designers).

I encourage others to move to some other Music service. You can use Songshift to transfer your playlists. 

 

Using spotify is the most regretful waste of my money and time.

 

 

Use SongShift or Soundiiz to transfer your Spotify music to Apple Music or any other platform that values its users.

Apple Music runs great on android too.

It's absurd that this is (almost) 10 years old and there is still no light mode... Why am I paying you if you're not even improving your product? Dark mode is uncomfortable... Other companies are jumping head over heel to market themselves as inclusive and accessible. Where's my light mode accessibility option? And you don't have colour-blind options, too.

l'd love to see a light mode option added to the app. It would be great for those who prefer a brighter interface, especially during daytime or in well-lit environments. This could enhance accessibility and provide users with more customization choices.

So, 10 years have passed since this was created... And it doesn't look like this is ever going to happen, what a disappointment. Dark themes are horrible and there should be alternatives for those of us who don't want to use them. Whether for reasons of accessibility or just personal preference, we will have to resort to other measures, if you know what I'm talking about. 😉

Hey Spotify team! I absolutely love using your app for all my music needs. It's sleek, user-friendly, and has an amazing library of songs. I wanted to suggest a feature that I think would make the app even better - the option to switch between dark mode and light mode. Dark mode would be perfect for nighttime listening, while light mode could be great for daytime use. It would be awesome to have this customization option to match our preferences and enhance the overall experience. Keep up the great work!
