Light/dark mode

[Rei]

Does anyone know how to make the screen automatically switch between light and dark modes?

I found some threads saying it was possible on the MG4, but can't find the setting on the S5. Also the same thing for Android auto. I have it set to "auto" on my phone, but it is always in dark mode even if the screen is set to light.

It doesn't appear to be possible. There are a few obvious things that are not in the current software release, I am hopeful they get fixed in an update later down the line.

Thanks sammoj. I would hope they fix it since apparently the MG4 has it.

Agree, it has a light sensor for the automatic headlights so it must know if it's light or dark.

Set the screen brightness you want for daylight. Turn on the headlights and set the screen brightness you want for night time. Next time you drive at night it should automatically switch over. It does for me.

It helps but it's still very bright at night in the Light theme imho.

Thanks. I meant switching the theme from light to dark.
