Do you use light or a dark theme in your software, /g/?I've been trying to get used to light themes because I lowkey think they look nicer but damn do they rape my eyes.
>>107561975Light vs Dark is a false dichotomy. Modern UI color schemes are terrible. Also, Dark color schemes are far worse for your eyes. You might think the light scheme is raping your eyes, but in terms of actual damage, the Dark theme is literally raping your eyes. The low average brightness tricks your brain into thinking there is less light, so your pupil opens, exposing individual retinal cells to more light. You are baking your retina without realizing it. Eye strain is simulated, the retina cannot actually feel pain.
>>107562023>Also, Dark color schemes are far worse for your eyes.I know, that's why I'm forcing myself to adapt my retarded chud eyes to white themes again.
>>107561975Light for day and dark for night.It's that simple, the solution has been found for a while.
Light theme always. Just prettier that way
Mix of both, My GTK setup uses both GIMP and Xed has a dark theme but most of my system is light. Geany has this unique light theme that is slightly different. Overall outside of GIMP, most of my system is light themed.cursor: Papertheme: skeuOS
dark mode rapes your eyes even worse tbqh
>>107561975turn the lights on, it's that simple
>>107562056Have you considered setting your monitor to a brightness level lower than "brighter than the sun". Modern monitors are absurdly overbright.
>>107561975light mode with orange light filter software.its way better for reading and general use, normies strained many eyes by pushing dark mode fashion.the only exception are media style apps, dark mode in art software, music players, and youtube makes colors pop more.
>>107562023Optometrist here. This is absolutely a retarded take. There's no evidence that light or dark color schemes affect long term eye health in any way. If there was any evidence of that it would completely change our field.And you can't "bake your retinas" using anything on the level of a computer screen. You need light on the level of over 200000 nits before you can even start to do any sort of damage.If you have cataracts, dark themes can help reduce eye fatigue. If you have astigmatism, light themes can do the same. But eye fatigue doesn't do anything long term. For everyone else, it really doesn't matter.
>>107562519>20000 nitsHow the fuxk do u explain nerds needing glasses from watching too much online porn with their eyes all fixated on monitor motherfucker. Dont you optometron me nigger
>>107561975I'm a white supremacist but I prefer dark themes. What does that say about me, /g/?
>>107562023>Also, Dark color schemes are far worse for your eyes.this is a falsehood repeated on /g/ by midwits with zero sources backing it up
>>107562779200,000 not 20,000 you illiterate chode. Computer monitors get up to a few thousand at best. You're not going to damage your cornea with consumer electronics. You get that type of damage by staring at the fucking sun.> How the fuxk do u explain nerds needing glassesHow the fuck do you think damage to your cornea gets fixed with glasses? That doesn't even make any sense if you thought about it for more than a few seconds.Glasses fix light focusing issues, such as weak retinas or elongation of the eyes. The reason "nerds needing glasses" is a thing is because they work on things close up. If you stare at anything close for a long amount of time, regardless of the amount of light, your eyes will naturally elongate. Reading books, staring at your phone or computer, and doing craft work with your hands without letting your eyes take breaks will all contributeThe best thing you can do for your eyes is take short breaks when staring at something close. The 20-20-20 rule is a good one to follow for this. Every 20 minutes, stare at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Do that and you'll help your eyesight immensely.
I have keratoconus, and light themes are way worse for my ability to see because of the artifacts
i use both depending on the time of day/context
I started using darkmod after I bought my first phone with oled to make it a bit better in battery department. After that I just got used to it. I feel like white interfaces look better, though.
>>107563680it does look like that on a bright monitori think light modes should be more silver, grey, and beige and dark modes should be more grey and blueish instead of black
BLAAAACK
>>107561975return to traditionuse gray
>>107561975Sepia theme master race.
>>107564214Jfc
depends on time of day
>>107564214my eyes hurt
>>107561975haven't used dark mode in like 10 years
>>107561975solarized
>>107561975Been using dark themes for like 25 years. Still do, but now I also have the excuse of using OLEDs.
>>107564560Sepia is like butter on the eyes.
>>107564214this is neat for like a week and then it is gross as fuck to use and look at. this is also the case with solarized themes
>>107564648I've been using it for 20 years. It all started with a theme I created myself for jEdit. Actually it started before that with taking notes on yellow legal pads.
>>107561975Light, for most part.Only use dark themes when I really need dark themes: basically at night on my car navigation.Save for that, everything else is light/white mode. Even my terminal windows.Not entire sure about dark themes being "worse for the eyes", and while I never really like how they looked anyway, more importantly Light simply doesn't fit my use case as I'm usually in a well lit room and usually dealing with not just code and terminals, but also documents supposed to be printed on white paper or media with bright colors. I know I can "force" darkmode on almost everything digital, like word documents and websites, they tend to look like shit.If all I did was coding on a terminal on a dark basement, then dark mode would be fine.
>>107561975> light themes == looking into a light bulbThe terms “dark themes” and “light themes” shouldn’t even exist.
>>107561975high contrast light theme
>>107561975For phones, I always use dark mode.For desktops/laptops, mostly light mode, but the browser home page and gimp use dark mode. Apps like discord also dark mode. Dark mode for classic GTK apps looks terrible imo.
>>107561975>orLight when it’s light outsideSwitch to dark when my monitor becomes the brightest thing in front of my face, usually an hour before sunset or so
>>107563996Reddish dark mode is better for your night vision probably
>>107562023meds
either or, if you use a blue light filter and lower your brightness (you should be doing this anyways) it literally doesn't matter.
>>107567173>For phones, I always use dark mode.Kinda hard to read in bright sunlight, mine automatically switches to dark with sunset.PC & laptop - always dark
>>107562023Dark themes are literally fucking retarded, white letters will never look as sharp as black.
>>107568686While true a lot of retarded niggers like those at Discord use gray letters on a white background
