摘要

移动应用程序的明暗模式可在不同环境下提高可用性(例如,暗模式便于夜间阅读)。然而,关于明暗模式在不同平台上的流行程度、用户界面颜色变化的复杂性以及设计和开发过程中的挑战等方面的研究却很少。我们的调查重点是比较明暗模式设计。我们对 120 个流行的安卓和 iOS 应用程序进行了人工检查,发现只有 55% (安卓)和 48% (iOS)的应用程序包含任何模式。我们还发现,在不同模式下,用户界面元素的变化也存在很大差异。我们采访了 15 位设计师和开发人员,以了解创意过程、设计决策的动机以及影响替代模式实施的过程中存在的挑战。我们发现了人机交互研究人员有能力解决的几个问题,最终改善了对移动应用程序创建者的支持,这些创建者希望实施暗模式(以及其他模式)以提高不同环境下的移动可用性。

Light and Dark Mode: A Comparison Between Android and iOS App UI Modes and Interviews with App Designers and Developers
Mobile app light and dark modes offer improved usability within different contexts (e.g., dark mode for easier night reading). Yet, little research has investigated the prevalence of light and dark modes across platforms, the intricacies of UI color changes, and challenges in the design and development process. Our investigation focused on comparing light and dark mode designs. We carried out a manual inspection of 120 popular Android and iOS apps to find that only 55% (Android) and 48% (iOS) of the apps included any modes. We also found significant variability in how many UI elements changed between modes. We interviewed 15 designers and developers to understand the creative process, motivations for design decisions, and what challenges exist in the processes that affect alternative mode implementation. We identified several issues that HCI researchers are equipped to solve, ultimately improving support for mobile app creators looking to implement dark modes (and beyond) for increased mobile usability in different contexts.
