Designing Screens for Dark Mode Mobile Interfaces
If your app UI features a default dark theme, contrast optimization is vital to make your mockup layout pop on the store background.
1. Ambient Glow Backdrops

2. High-Contrast Captions
Use bold, bright white, or highly saturated cyan/indigo overlays to attract eyes immediately.
