The challenges, how-to, and how not to do it

Turn the lights off — designing for dark mode 🌌🌒

It’s not just about flipping colors and inverting white to black

With the new launch of iOS 13, Apple introduces Dark Mode. A dark color scheme which gives the spotlight to the content as it rests on the dark background.

At Wego, we want to give you not only the best deals for your travel needs but also the best experience of doing so—we want to make it easier and better for your eyes too.

What’s up with Dark Mode?

There are various reasons why Apple decided to bring in the dark mode to iOS. Here are some benefits of the dark mode:

• It makes the screen easier to see in low-ambient lighting, for example late at night or early in the morning.
• It makes the contents shine while focusing less on the interface.
• The dark mode could help improve battery life.
