Light theme or Dark theme?

1

The most contemplated dilemma since Aristotle’s time. Which one should I choose to use? The light or dark? Well, this long awaited answer and more will be given in form of…

A poor mans voting poll? Yes! Vote on which theme you use more! Comment either ‘light’ or ‘dark’ in the thread and in like a week I’ll announce the superior choice, so let’s begin and hear out our unbiased (very biased) and thoroughly thought (hopefully not too much) opinions!

My choice? Personally? I use dark mode, reason? easy on the eyes.

The thought came to me when I discovered that this site had a dark theme option in the interface tab. Words cannot describe the ecstasy I felt the first time used it 4 years ago, so I decided to make a fun little topic about it.

Am I a heretic if I say both? Light theme is nice when on battery so I can turn the screen brightness down and dark theme is nice at night.

Light theme for aesthetics, dark theme for functionality.

Light themes are far easier for me to read with my bad eyes.

Always dark if it’s available by default, if not, then I search for dark themes for websites that I use often in Stylus.

I like to keep my eyesight intact, thank you very much.

Anyone who prefers a dark theme doesn’t have astigmatism (or doesn’t have it very bad, at least).

Besides, most eye strain from computer use can be eliminated by:

  1. turning down monitor brightness to a reasonable level.
  2. probably the biggest factor, move your monitor further away. Too many people go by the misadvice to keep the monitor at arm’s length. Eye strain is primarily a function of optical convergence (how much your eyes have to turn towards each other to see the object), not accommodation (eye lens changing shape to focus). Unfortunately, belief in the latter is “common knowledge.”

brightness can get its own voting poll to itself. Gotta find new ways to not drain your battery in 5 minutes, unless ofcourse it’s stationary’ly plugged in. In that case, electricity bill?
