How to find light mode

Hi ​@kformanek ,

Hope you are doing well and thanks for sharing the information. We are sorry for the  trouble you are experiencing.

Right now, the crop screen in Adobe Scan is always dark grey, even when the rest of the app and your phone are in light mode. The light/dark setting (on Android: ☰ > Preferences > App Theme; on iOS: it follows your phone's Display & Brightness setting) only changes the menus and file lists, not the crop view.

The crop view was made dark on purpose so white paper stands out against it, but as you've found, that doesn't help when your document and your background are both light.

A couple of things that might help for now:

• Try dragging each corner handle slightly inward past the edge of your document. You'll lose a tiny bit of the margin, but you'll never catch any background. For most text documents, you won't even notice the trim.
• You can also pinch to zoom in on each corner before confirming the crop. Zooming in makes the edge of the paper much easier to see, even against the dark canvas.

Let us know how it goes.
