Just like its renowned predecessor, Noctis12 implements a system-wide dark mode that darkens the UI of iOS elements like notifications and widgets in addition to the interfaces of most first and third-party applications; but most importantly, it can be configured to your liking.
Noctis12 adds a preference pane to your Settings app where you can configure things however you want:

It’s required that you respring your handset after configuring Noctis12 for your changes to take effect. With that in mind, LaughingQuoll includes a convenient respring button in the preference pane so that you can respring with just a tap.
It’s worth noting that while Noctis12 creates a wonderful dark mode experience on your iOS 12 handset, it doesn’t work with all apps. For that reason, LaughingQuoll has made Noctis12 compatible with other prominent dark mode tweaks such as Eclipse by fr0st.
If you’re interested in trying Noctis12, then you can download it for $1.50 from Cydia’s Packix repository. This tweak is only compatible with jailbroken iOS 12 devices, but you can use a previous version of Noctis if you’re running an earlier version of iOS.
