** Description changed: + [ Initial report ] + We tested the Ubuntu 26.04 beta image and looked at the new OOBE screen for dark vs light mode. However I don't think it's doing a hard enough job at suggesting dark mode. Two things stand out: 1) The message is not assertive at all about OLED power consumption. We emphatically know light mode consumes more power. We should not be wishy washy. 2) It's not mandatory to pick a mode. A user flying through the screens can just press finish and might miss the detail about light vs dark and power consumption. I have two suggestions. A) Can we have "nothing" selected, at least when OLED is found? Then the user has to read and pick. - B) Can we have "dark" selected if OLED is found? Then the user who flies through gets the mode we want. + B) Can we have "dark" selected if OLED is found?
