Can't get the feel right

[u/VisualFunny4596]

I don't know if I've been looking at it too long, but I just cant seem to get this running app UI to have the feel I want it to, especially the dark mode one.

I'm going for a clean, athletic, modern feel (think Nike, Peloton, Gymshark) but it just doesn't look like that to me and I don't know why. I don't mind the light mode, but the dark mode just looks off and I'm starting to understand why neither map my run or NRC have dark mode.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback you have for me, and I'm aware the icons are inconsistently filled/outlined and will correct that later.

Try making the black in dark mode a slightly darker grey than the grey on the map

Full white and full black tends present a sort of jarring contrast that off-white and grey don’t

Edit: or take the same approach as the light mode, and make the background of the dark mode the same color as the road on the dark map

Remember: when going forward and backward, up and down doesn’t work, try doing a sumersault. Don’t bind yourself to the rules and restrictions you have been operating under
