Problem Description
The current theme selection dialog uses a long vertical list of radio buttons, but it does not contain all possible permutations of the base themes – for example, it lacks the "System dynamic and black"
Issues with current implementation:
- Visual Clutter: Overwhelming list of items to scroll through.
- Redundancy: Basic choices (Light / Dark / System) are mixed together with modifiers (High Contrast, Pure Black, Dynamic Colors).
- Poor UX: Choosing a theme requires reading through 10+ options.
Proposed Solution
Redesign the theme selection layout using a Segmented Control + Sub-options/Toggles approach:
-
Top Control (Segmented Buttons):
- A clean horizontal group to pick the primary state:
System | Light | Dark
-
Secondary Options (Toggles / Dropdowns below):
- Use pure black dark theme (Toggle switch)
- Contrast level (Dropdown or Segmented control: Standard / Medium / High)
- Dynamic colors / Material You (Toggle switch)
Here is what it could look like:
Alternatives Considered
Keep the current dialog layout but add missing combinations to the list, such as the "System dynamic and black" option.
