@bacons/expo-background-color

A stack based Expo component for setting the background color of the root view. Useful for changing the background color on certain screens or inside of native modals. Updates based on Appearance and AppState native modules.

This is a published version of my original gist.

Runs in any React Native project. Supports iOS, Android, web.

expo add expo-system-ui @bacons/expo-background-color

Usage

Drop the BackgroundColor component anywhere, background color respect the component instance at the highest level (i.e. StatusBar module in react-native).

import { BackgroundColor } from "@bacons/expo-background-color";

function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <BackgroundColor color={{ light: "#fff", dark: "#000" }} />
      <BackgroundColor color={"#fff000"} />
    </>
  );
}
