Pure black, and a say in what comes next
David White
Both of the changes in TrackShows 1.10.0 came from people asking for them. One is a theme. The other is a way to ask for the next one.
Pure black theme
TrackShows has always been dark, but dark is not the same as black. The standard theme uses a deep violet, which still lights up every pixel on your screen. On an OLED panel, and that is most modern phones, a pure black pixel is switched off entirely.
So there is now a switch for it. Go to your Profile, tap the gear, and turn on Pure black theme. Every background becomes true black. It saves a little battery, and in a dark room it loses the grey glow that a near-black theme still gives off. The amber and the text stay exactly as they were.
It is off by default, and it applies the moment you flip it, on the web app and on Android alike. If you prefer the violet, do nothing.
Feature requests
The bigger change is on your Profile: Feature requests.
It is a public board of what people have asked for, split into three sections. Planned is what is actually lined up next. Open is everything under consideration, sorted by votes. Shipped is what has already been built. Tap the arrow next to any request to vote for it, and tap again to take your vote back. One vote per person, and the count is live.
To add one, go to Contact & feedback and pick “Suggest an improvement”. Give it a short name, say what it would do, and send. Every submission is read before it goes up, which is the whole point: the board is a roadmap rather than an inbox, so a dozen versions of the same idea become one entry instead of a dozen. Bug reports still go straight to the developer by email, unchanged.
The board opens with two requests that had already come in by hand, both of which are done: pure black mode, and marking every aired episode of a season as watched in one action.
A tidier Profile
Your Profile had quietly grown into one long scroll of thirteen things. It now shows your account, your trophies and the board, and everything you set has moved behind the gear in the top corner. Nothing was removed, it is just one level down: display name, comments, the theme, alerts, TV Time import, data export, contact and account deletion.
While in there, the trophy cards got their text size lifted to match every other card on the tab. They were set smaller than everything around them for no good reason.
All of this is live now in the web app, and the Android update is on its way through review. The full history is on the changelog.
