Background color: black? (Up to now it is white)

[guettli]

Most image apps use a black background when images get displayed in fullscreen.

I would prefer black, too.

What do you think?

Why did you choose white?

I support this request ! :) The possibility to configure that would be great...

On my side this ticket has a very low priority because i have outer things in the queue for this hobby project with much higher priority.

May be there is somebody else out there who fixes this:

Hello everyone

I really recommend to have a capability to have a Dark Skin and Light Skin, that because Dark Skin will save Battery and that good for everyone. A low energy App is more GreenIT.
For me go to that direction should permit Dark Background.

Then 100% support that feature request ...

Only for devices with amoled screens, for any of the other screens: no difference.

I get it. Yet like the OP I would just prefer a black background over a white one. Then colour-picking (I would not only have black & white, but also grey) can be added later as an enhancement.

If you find a way to implement backgroundcolor to the PhotoView please send me a merge request to

Unfortunately the original master branch of chrisbanes-PhotoView did not accept the improvements i made for APhotoManager here and here so i keep my own fork

Just came here for the background color. I do have quite a few pictures with a dark theme and they are pretty ugly with the white background. But there are some clear pictures too, where a bighter background would be appropriate.

I this the best option is similar to the Philips TV ambilight, where the background adapts to the picture.

While looking at the Photoview app here Baseflow/PhotoView#201 I came across this snippet:

<<uk.co.senab.photoview.PhotoView
android:id="@+id/imgView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@color/transparent"
android:src="@drawable/image"
/>

This sounds to me to be the way to choose the background color. I may be completely off, though.
