The real pill is gray mode.
Early GUI people knew that gray (and slightly color-tinted gray) was comfortable.

My eyes get tired reading on a black background. There are studies that show reading on a white background slightly improves reading speed compared to black backgrounds.

I use automatic mode.
it get's light when it's bright outside and dark when it's dark outside

Honestly I think there's nothing funnier than retards who think "blue light" is the reason they're sleeping poorly. You sleep like shit because you don't have a set bed time, and because you watch garbage on your phone in bed.

nothing to do with why i use it.
reading text is just better with it.

I'm a light mode user and that theme is just godawful. No wonder you're struggling.

i am red/green color blind so i struggle to use themes without extreme contrast. the colors blend together and then there is no point. for emacs i use this one that has purple keywords and dark everything else. i would want to use the built in modus theme but there is too much going on, and the color blind mode doesn't even change the base colors.

Syntax highlighting just works better with dark mode.
Bright colors are much easier to tell apart from each other, and from the background itself, when the background is dark. Thus, while there is less contrast between letters in general and the background, there is more contrast between colors.
For normal text / reading, dark text on bright background is better.

>>106703908
Why though? Next it'll be "oh, I just HAVE to use EMACS because I don't wanna be a pleb," and it's just really not worth it. The whole neovim/emacs master concept is dope but jfc the percentage of people who would actually be optimizing their workflow by removing a few additional seconds learning shortcuts beyond the basic character/word/line manipulation is comically small

99% of light themes are garbage.
You have to look for ones that have proper colours and don't just try to invert dark themes. Dark themes have much lower contrast because the colours are easier to see, but that doesn't work with light themes and they need deeper colours to make them readable. Fonts can also make a big difference.

OP's pic is terrible (light pink and bright yellow/orange).
This >>106704209 is kinda OK just because the colours are dark, but your font looks fuzzy.
And solarised >>106704087 is the only common one that just werks if you like it because it balances the colours with a slightly darker background.

I am 42 and I simply never fell for the dark mode meme
Also I have godly 20/20 vision despite being at the computer for basically 12 hours a day since I was 14

People who care about the color scheme you use are useless

>>106705389
it can legitimately improve legibility.
ricers can get stuffed though, true

>>106703908
Light mode as it exists in modern UI looks like utter shit. Dark mode is not great either, but its not as bad as light mode. I miss classic UI design that actually had contrast.
>>
>>106703908
I switched back to light mode because I just feel more alert and awake using it. Dark mode had me basically spending more time online but with less focus and then that lower focus slowly became the norm. If my eyes can't handle it then I just get off

what language is that?

>proc
fortran

>>106703908
Open the windows in your room and turn down screen brightness to match natural light
t. uses light mode during the day and dark at night
>>
>>106707529
lol, fortran looks like
IMPLICIT NONE
REAL(8) :: a
READ *,a,b
PRINT *,'wynik',a+b
END

and not like a python clone
>>
>>106707559
well its defiantly fortran idk what to tell you

Pretty sure that's Nim.

>>106703908
the only problem with using 255 for every color combination of rgb is the fact that pure yellow blends with white and pure magenta is gay

yeah its a color problem. dark goes better with multiple colors than white does.

Whats the deal with that doc comments? Why can't the parameters be parsed by the doc generator? That xml like syntax is niggerlicious.

>>106703908
turn the light on in your room. if you sit in a well lit environment you will naturally want to use light mode as dark mode in a lit environment is crappy.
>>
>>106709805
>dark mode in a lit environment is crappy.
but Im reading 4chan in dark mode right now in a well lit and sunny room.
>>
>>106709829
for me it gives me eye strain. if I use dark mode in a lit environment its like using light mode in a dark room. since i always use light mode though i always have some kind of back lighting illumination even at night so its not completely dark.

There is no pill it's retarded unless you have eye defect or something.
