I just came home from a night VFR flight but had to cover the very bright screen most of the time to be able to see anything outside the aircraft. Regards Karsten

What I did: disabled automatic adjustment on my tablet (Huawei Android device) and set brightness to minimum, switched to the high contrast map style. Good enough for enroute. Pain points: All the tabs (weather, airfields, etc) have a white background Scratchpad has a white background PLOG has a white background GAFOR routes show up differently (dashed yellow lines) while panning <- actually it looks like a bug because other charts styles won't show GAFOR at all during panning 3rd party charts don't have any night mode. Technically it would be possible to alter the colors in the PDFs but yeah I could agree, this would require advanced logic and a potential place for mistakes...
