How To: Get a Real System-Wide Dark Mode on Your iPhone for Less Battery Drain & More Night-Friendly Views

How To: Get a Real System-Wide Dark Mode on Your iPhone for Less Battery Drain & More Night-Friendly Views
A universal dark theme has long been one of the most sought-after features we've been urging Apple to introduce for iOS. While this wish went unfulfilled with iOS 12, there's renewed hope that it'll finally touch down with iOS 13's arrival. The jailbreak community, however, has had this functionality available for quite some time, and you can too if you're running the right iOS version.Dark mode tweaks like Guillermo Moran's venerable Eclipse series of apps have been around since at least iOS 7. And thanks to constant updates, Eclipse supports iOS 12.x versions and fully works on OLED-based devices, meaning the iPhone X, XS, and XS Max. Since the Eclipse tweak has overgone years or hard work, it does cost $1.49, which helps support future enhancements.Granted, you can forgo buying Eclipse 12 — the latest version of Eclipse — and take advantage of Smart Invert to mimic a dark mode on your iPhone instead, but the feature can invert colors that shouldn't be for a less-than-desirable look. Or you can wait for a system-wide dark mode to officially arrive when the next major iOS iteration touches down — if it even happens.Don't Miss: Jailbreak iOS 12 to iOS 12.1.2 on Your iPhone For now, using a tweak like Eclipse 12 is the best option you have in terms of getting a battery-saving dark theme on your iPhone. Since OLED displays use up less energy by turning off pixels where black appears or by using less of the RGB spectrum for grays, it's easy to see how this could save power. But this tweak could also help save a little bit of energy on LCD models like the iPhone XR or iPhone 8.

Step 1: Add the Packix RepoEclipse 12 is not located natively in either Cydia or Sileo, so you need to connect its external repository.

Allow the tweak a minute or two to install, then hit "Restart SpringBoard" to wrap up.

Step 5: Use Eclipse 12 for Standard Dark ModeOnce your iPhone resprings, you'll find that Eclipse 12 isn't on by default. To turn the tweak on, you'll need to tap on "Eclipse Dark Mode" within the Settings app, then turn on the toggle next to "Enable Eclipse." From there, select "Applications" and choose which apps you want with a dark theme by enabling their corresponding toggles. Next, select "Back" and tap on "Reload Springboard" to respring your iPhone and apply the changes.

Step 6: Customize Eclipse 12 (Optional)If you want to dig a little deeper and further customize your iPhone's appearance, however, Eclipse 12 also provides a slew of options to make your iPhone truly stand out.

If those weren't enough, you could go inside the tweak's "Color Settings" page to customize various UI elements like "NavBar Color," "Statusbar Color," and more. Beyond those, Eclipse 12 also features "Adaptive Theming" which colorizes apps to reflect their icon's colors, while providing various shades of gray for apps that have white as their predominant color. Adaptive Theming applied to Messages, App Store, and Calendar. In all, there's a wide array of options that you can play with to completely personalize the look of your iPhone's interface. You can even apply a dark theme to websites by toggling "Website Dark Mode" on within the "More Options" page, though, the feature is still in its beta stages and can vary in effectiveness from site to site.

A communication system pretty much always breaks down to two parts, a transmitter and a receiver. Laser communication systems are no different: the laser is the transmitter and for the receiver we will use a photo-resistor. So really it's two circuits. For this project I am going to keep both of them very basic.
