Why would anyone be annoyed by you just being consequent and starting your own thread after the other one is beyond saving? Cheers and sorry if I made it sound like I was lashing out at you - wasn't my intention! |

No prob here, let's just get back to the topic
In the meantime, one more Reddit user showed their dark mode toggle, followed by a crowd of users commenting they're still waiting for it. Last time I checked, it was unclear whether this happened on 5.12.4 or 5.12.5. I've seen some on .4 receiving the toggle on PW. Seems like a lot of people keep their Kindles on airplane mode to avoid recent updates and the missing covers bug for side-loaded books. Maybe that's one reason why sightings are so sparse? |

I've got it on my oasis 3. Upgraded it to 5.12.5 a week or so ago. And then yesterday, when buying a book, it suddenly appeared.

I am a paying customer and I don't have it yet either. I don't really need it though so I'd rather not have that as an icon up top, but oh well.

It has nothing to do with whether you buy something from Amazon or not, and since it is not officially announced or documented, they may decide not to roll it out after all.
For those who have the feature, is it still found in Accessibility settings? |

Alright I gave up on waiting for a jailbreak. Updated my Oasis 3 yesterday going from stock FW to 5.12.5, now waiting for the toggle.
Was hoping the ghosting would be fixed but it's still the same even even with page refresh turned on. Page refresh on putting the Oasis to sleep and back on eliminates any ghosting but only until next page flip. Will report when I the toggle arrives, sorry for the little off-topic! |

A lady I follow on FB has it on her PW4, she said her Kindle updated last week. It’s on the quick settings row between Bluetooth and Sync Your Kindle

I'm wondering whether the way FW got updated makes a difference or not. I mean ota vs manual download and install?

I wondered about this too. I've updated manually (download from the website) and don't have the toggle. I did notice that there seems to be a new version (v2) of the 5.12.5 update for Oasis. I downloaded and the Kindle recognized it as an update to the existing 5.12.5 V1 already installed. No new toggle though.

I received the dark toggle button on both my Oasis 3 and Oasis 2 today. One showed up in the morning, the other in the evening. Neither device had been restarted, or had be recently updated in the last few days.

Well I just got it on my Oasis3. I have no use for it so now I have 2 icons I don't need in my menu. Bluetooth I also don't use.
I just had to look at it again as I only tried it out back when I got the Oasis2, before I had the 3. Yep, still as disturbing as it was then. Yikes makes my eyeballs wobble for some reason. Well not literally or course, just feels like it. . I have sensitive eyes though and I don't see well when it gets dark so that is probably why. But I could never read on any white text on black. Or green on black as I remember some programs from back when. That stuff did a number on my brain. Surely soon it gets to everyone, and those that actually like having that toggle there and using that mode often. It is still also in accessibility by the way to turn on and off. |
