Android Web App: Respect Dark mode on start up

[menelic]

The Android web app does not respect Dark mode on start up, as the start up screen is the standard beige/ocher color. While the color scheme is nice, the start up screen can be too bright in situations where dark mode is chosen consciously, eg when reading at night.

Thanks, I know there is an API call we can make for this, I'll look into handling in the splash page.

Taking some notes on this:

This is set in the web manifest background_color:

omnivore/packages/web/public/static/unused/pwa/manifest.webmanifest

Line 6 in f7e3a16

"background_color": "#ffffff",

Some information here: w3c/manifest#975

Not a full solution but a bit of a compromise using a gray background here: #1033

@menelic we've deployed a change to make this a darker gray. Let me know if you see any improvement.

I'm going to close this one. We've set a more muted colour which seems to be the best we can do with the current PWA options.

@menelic if you are interested, we are starting to test our native Android app (its quite simple now, but should progress quickly)
