dark mode
Screen goes black
Dark mode is a display setting that shows light text on a dark background, reducing screen brightness and eye strain in low-light conditions.
Most apps and operating systems offer dark mode as an alternative to the default light theme: I switched to dark mode to save battery.
The term extends to a joking description of someone's gloomy or antisocial state: I've been in dark mode all week.
