Hi,

```
 Can we have Day and Night Mode functionality in Desktop Edition

```

Example:

If it possible, Please give me sample example or code for it.

Thanks,

Hi Riyaz,

If you want to render the map like your attached image shows, our map don’t have this function.

But if you only want to shows the map looks like night you can visit this topic: [Changing map brightness during night shift](https://community.thinkgeo.com/t/changing-map-brightness-during-night-shift/8263/2)

Wish that’s helpful.

Regards,

Ethan

Hi Riyaz,

I means all of our product don’t have exsiting API to render the effect in the image you attached, but you can view my link, it contains some screen shots, we can render the effect by set different style like that.

Hi Riyaz,

If you want to make your map shows like the screen shot in your first topic, I double check with our developer, and make sure we don’t support that.

But I think you can build some special polygons covered above the base map, in fact that’s a very complex way, because we also don’t have any API support to calculate the build the polygons.

But wish the thinking is helpful.

Regards,

Ethan

Hi Riyaz,

I think the DesktopEdition also don’t support this feature(Day and Night Mode), so the web don’t support it also.

If you have implemented that by your custom code, please try to move that to web edition.

Ethan
