![]() ![]() Then all of a sudden a bright light shines at you-you’re more likely to close it quickly or skip to the next email. ![]() Well, you could, but imagine staring at a desk screen and you go to your emails. Can we keep serving the same email to people and assume they’ll put up with it? With, Outlook app, and Gmail already offering a dark mode as well as Apple Mail and Outlook on Mac, Windows Mail and Outlook on Windows 10, a significant number of your recipients could be reading your emails in Dark Mode. With preliminary analytics from a range of email senders, around 13% of openers in the native iOS 13 mail app use Dark Mode. Unfortunately, email clients don’t publish documentation to help email developers. The developer documentation gives details on how to stop this from happening in your app’s user interface, but you have to actively choose to not switch to Dark Mode. So if a user chose to work in Dark Mode, all apps would be made dark by default. ![]() In the last year, big operating systems such as Mac OS and Windows 10 all made apps default to the systems color choice. This flowed into Pocket’s website and other apps soon followed, with Twitter enabling night mode in 2016. The first modern use of Dark Mode was in the app Pocket in 2012-designed to help users save tidbits from around the internet to read when the user had time, which made sense, as a display with a black background and white text is much easier on the eyes when in darker rooms, like when reading in bed. With Cathode-ray tubes, this was the best display you could get. What we now know as Dark mode used to be how a computer display looked originally. There are numerous articles on the web dispelling Dark Mode as good for all day use, whilst others sing its praises. The benefit of Dark Mode is the ease of strain on your eyes, especially at night or in dark conditions. In cases where you need spacing of varying sizes, it’s best to use CSS padding - just make sure it’s done on elements - this is where padding works most consistently.Dark Mode inverts the colors on your device to decrease the amount of light on your screen, most commonly, inverting a white background and black text to a black background with white text. Using the cellpadding attribute is great in cases where you need a standard padding amount on your elements.īecause cellpadding is an HTML attribute, you can be pretty certain that padding set with it will render consistently across email clients. Some email clients don’t support CSS margins, but all of them support padding, whether its CSS- or attribute-based. There’s one more bit to take note of: the use of the cellpadding attribute. So we nest tables and use percentages on content-containing tables, all in the name of control. How you set table dimensions, whether in percentages or pixels, is really up to you we’ve found that the method shown above gives us a nice amount of control, while keeping the tables ‘squishy’ enough that small-pixel variations don’t disturb things too badly. The that contains the columns does get a defined pixel width. You can also see that the column widths aren’t based on pixel widths they’re percentage-based. ![]() A three-column layout is a simple variation of this code: You’ll notice that the columns themselves are individual tables nested within a larger container we’ve found that this nesting method tends to give more control over the design and structure of a multi-column email. ![]()
