Description
Expected behaviour
Dark mode usable regardless of Nextcloud’s instance theming colours.
Actual behaviour
Icons and buttons become almost invisible with dark colours (extreme example is #000000).
Steps to reproduce
Activate dark mode beta while connected to an instance with dark colours as its theme
iOS version
13.3
App version
2.25.3
Possible solutions
- Treat the theme colours in the same way they are treated if they are set to
#FFFFFF(ie the icons are gray instead of white - in this case make them gray instead of black?) - Provide options between “true black” theme and “dark theme” as other iOS apps do (the former is all black, usually used for OLED displays; the latter is a set of dark grays, like the settings app of iOS)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the iOS app with dark mode enabled and a Nextcloud instance theme color of #000000, using the reported iOS and app versions if available. Trace the dark-mode and instance-theme color handling; done means icons and buttons remain visible with dark theme colors.
