Honor 8X black theme, and large font size - Honor 8X Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I am a visually impaired user. And I need two things to be able to use a smartphone.
A full black theme with all backgrounds being black color, such as dialer, notification panel, basically a system wide black theme.
And I need to increase the font size. I was at the store and I saw that the XL font size in settings did not result in very large text.
I want to buy this phone, but without the above, the phone is useless to me.
Can anyone help clarify the above for me please?
Thanks
Mir

Thanks for the info re; large text size.
Re: themes, are there any black themes that come with the device, or will I have to find the themes online?
EDIT: Another question I have regarding this device, and EMUI in general is the background color of the navigation bar at the bottom. I noticed that the color would change based on the application in focus which is extremely annoying to me as a visually impaired user. Is there a way to permanently set it to one solid color (black color with no transparency)?
Thank you.

I'm using this theme https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emuithemesfactory.darkmodeforemui5&hl=fr
who works like a charm and it's nearly perfect except in some Huawei apps (Huawei account and theme app), I contacted the dev who answered me that it will be an update during this week :fingers-crossed:

Again there is a default themes app that has plenty of dark themes and emui is very customizable,

For this issue you can hide the notch for all apps or just choose which in particular

What you are talking about is the status bar, I was talking about the Navigation bar on the bottom, the home key/back key/recent apps bar.
I also have another question. Does changing the text size in Display settings also increase the text size of text in the notification panel where you have all the quick settings toggles like WIFI, GPS, and notifications from applications, etc?

Oh ok ^^ for the bottom navigation bar I don't think there is a built-in option but maybe a theme with that function exists
I also tried to change the display setting but it didn't increased or decreased the size of the quick settings

I looked at some themes and it might be possible that they can achieve what I want to do with regards to the navigation bar.
Thank you very much for your help. Much appreciated. =)

Another question. I just saw a review of the brand new P20 Pro which has just been released.
In Settings -> Battery, there is an option called "Darken Interface Colors" which basically sets a system wide dark theme.
Does this option exist in the Honor 8x?
Thank you.

You mean mate 20?, and no this option is not present on 8x thats not to say it won't be in emui 9.0 witch is what the mate 20 is running and P20 will be running if not already on beta emui 9.0

You should check the Accessibility options in Smart Assistance. After all, it's made for you. High Contrast Text can be pretty useful and the invert option can make everything black without resorting to themes, but everything will be inverted, including images and videos.
Font size and UI scaling is changeable and can be pretty gigantic if you max everything out.
Heres a screenshot I captured
