Night mode is not persistent

[murad073]

I was listening surah 114 in night mode. While I changed the url to listen surah 36, the night mode is gone.
I think night mode setting should be stored in local-storage. Currently any type of refresh could reset the night-mode.

Settings like reciters, etc are already stored in an options cookie, is night mode not being stored there? Did you try refreshing the page? This may be the same as #550 where the options didn't get applied due to a timing bug.

refreshing also reset the night mode.

It's not being stored! Need to store it

[naveed-ahmad]

this was intentional, you enable night mode only on nights :)

But yes we can have cookie which last only 4-8 hours.

@naveed-ahmad we can try to work out the time of the day and dis/nable it accordingly?

[naveed-ahmad]

timezone could make this simple toggle switch very complex imo @sabeurthabti also sorry I'm not that good in reactjs :( for now I'm just saving to in options cookies. We can work on intelligent night mode later on :) thoughts ?

[naveed-ahmad]

Maybe I'm missing something.

[mmahalwy]

i can help on this too.

[naveed-ahmad]

@sabeurthabti @mmahalwy feel free to take over from #692 and make night mode timezone/day aware :)

too difficult. plus, I like to see Quran.com in white bg all times. would be bothered if it changed by itself, personally.
