Gmail for Android is getting a dark mode


2019 seems to be the darkest year in mobile OS history, if you count the fact that both Androidand iOS are getting official system-wide dark themes. Not only that, but Google and Apple are also busy working on adding dark themes to all of their mobile apps.
The latest one to get the treatment is Gmail for Android, but don't pop the champagne just yet. It's still very much a work in progress, even though it is randomly showing up for people running the latest version of the app.
 
Dark Gmail Settings
For now, the dark theme is only there in the Gmail app's Settings. You don't get it in the main window or the sidebar, unfortunately. Also, it seems to come on and off when it wants to, and you have no control over it because there's no toggle to enable or disable dark mode.
The screenshots above depict what we're seeing on Gmail v2019.06.09. The dark mode doesn't currently have a toggle and comes on and off when it wants to, but here's a first look. It only shows up in settings, not the main window or sidebar. We know, it's not much so far, but hopefully this will appease some of you who've been waiting for dark mode on one of Google's most-used apps.

Xiaomi caught stealing artist's work commissioned by LG It's not the first time we hear something about a Chinese company ripping off somebody's work - as Jeremy Clarkson once put it, "copyright infringment doesn't translate terribly well in Mandarin". Also, Xiaomi has been open about following Apple's marketing strategy and design for years. Yet now that the company has outgrown that phase it's somewhat disappointing to learn Xiaomi took Peter Tarka's work (a 3D artist) without permission. To make matters worse, the image was actually commissioned by its rival LG. You can see the two images below and how (almost) identical they are. Some of the ramps have been removed to make room for Xiaomi's products but the resemblance is too great to be coincidental.
