Inconsistent Android status bar label color

[Ehab-d]

Steps to reproduce

1. Switch to the Light/Dark mode in Android
2. Switch to the Dark/Light mode in LibreTube

Expected behavior

To have the status bar just like it was in 0.22.2:

Actual behavior

This is related to issue #5970 / fix #5978.

The notification bar follows the LibreTube app theme -which is actually fixed-, but the status bar text and labels are black, making them almost unseeable.

LibreTube_0.23.2 – after the fix

LibreTube_0.23.0 – before the fix

LibreTube version

0.23.0 to 0.23.2

Android version

Android 10

Other details

• The issue did not exist in version 0.22.2.
• The settings page does not have this issue.

Can you please test with the latest debug build?

I have tested almost all the possible cases, and I can confirm that the problem has been solved. 🚀
However, I wanted to point out a behavior you might want to know about...
When exiting full screen mode, the status bar quickly turns light before returning to dark again.

LibreTube 0.23.3 Debug

LibreTube-0.23.2-debug.mp4

And that was not present in LibreTube 0.22.2.

LibreTube 0.22.2

LibreTube-0.22.2.mp4

Of course, this "completely" only happens when Android is in light mode & LibreTube in dark mode.

This may not be a problem.. but I thought you might want to know.

When exiting full screen mode, the status bar quickly turns light before returning to dark again.

That's indeed not that nice, but I don't think that we can fix this on the application side. We don't modify that color when you leave fullscreen, we only change the text color of the status bar.

So this certainly looks like an Android bug unfortunately.
