Thanks for the update Dmitry.

From a high-level product standpoint I'm very happy with what I'm seeing in both of those screenshots. I probably slightly prefer the grey (the solid black looks a bit glossy on my tablet in experience, which defeats the point a bit), but it's primarily a design issue and I'll support their choice.

Would you like some input from me before it hits the signoff column? I'm fine either way, but if you want some quick input from me on your work-in-progress build just send me an APK and I'll take a look. :-)

Vibha and I met briefly today regarding the night-mode color scheme.  The major points that were touched upon:

- The color of links in night mode is a little too bright or "neon-y". Designers will come up with an updated (less saturated) blue color for links.

- Designers were entertaining the idea of having a single unified (black) color for the article background, as well as the ToC and Nav menu:

As opposed to:

Personally, the more I think about it, the more strongly I prefer the latter scheme (a slightly grey color that stands out from the black article background).  I think black-on-black makes it look a little *too* minimalist.
