Every single device and app that has a dark mode is on it. It's the only option.
If you're on android, unlock the Dev options and there's a toggle for forcing darkmode on every app, the odd couple won't work properly, but most apps I use seem to work well.
Just found out I can dark mode google maps for use in android auto. So happy. My stupid car has a huge touchscreen and I like have google maps for nav but I hated the giant white screen blasting in my face every single time I drive even at night. Now it's night mode always all the time. Fuck yeah.
The real crime is that bus driving down the middle of a double yellow line.
My husband is a light mode user on everything and it always makes me recoil. I’ve literally never encountered a situation where I preferred light mode over a functioning dark mode.
Visibility in sunlight for me
I'm like your husband :P I like using light mode all day as my room has huge windows and my room is usually very bright. So light mode on full brightness is essential to work. Dark mode causes eye strain for me.
It's scientifically better, so 🤷♂️
Science isn't using my eyeballs, I am.
I'm intrigued, please explain?
Dark mode is the only mode for me.
Love it. I wish my older android devices could use dark mode too especially the google apps.
I use discord light mode because people see it and are like "oh my god you use light mode" it's great, try to argue with me, you just fuel my entertainment. Also I don't look at the blazing screen in a dark room.
I switched my whole desktop to light mode, including VS Code, as to try to better associate day and work, and be a little easier to read in a light room. Also I find the night light yellowing a bit nicer with white and a dim screen. People whine about their preference as if they'll be using your phone/whatever, its very interesting
I slowly cut off fingers in front of people and they are always like "omg you cut off your fingers??" So entertaining to watch them.
Good for you, hope you've got enough spares. How do you manage the pain?
Ilove dark mode on my phone, but I hate it on my laptop. It makes me feel sad..? For some reason? I'm probably just used to computer screens being bright lmao
That's also a very fair take. Dark mode on work computers might put me to sleep...
I've been using dark mode since dark mode was a thing. Even on LCD screens (although I try to avoid buying devices with LCD when possible/affordable)
Light mode is annoying to me now. I can't use it .
Yep, gotta love them folks who use "white mode", full brightness and then turn on all lights in the room because they think it will help them see what is on screen.
Hurts eyes of everyone who gets in the way.
Dark mode all the way. When indoors I keep my brightness very low, like at 15-20%. How some people can use white mode and 75-100% brightness is beyond me.
I tried dark mode. Spent hours fiddling with all the different applications to get them to comploy. Of course, to make the text show up properly you have to turn up the brightness.
And there are just too many times Windows decides "Full bright white screen is just what's needed here!" (Yes I did set the system to dark mode. When Windows fills the screen with white, it should really look at that setting first and fill it with something a bit darker instead, not necessarily black but for my retinas' sake please not FFFFFF.)
Conclusion: light mode with the brightness turned down. At least my screens don't stab me in the eyes multiple times a day.
One more reason to hate Windows and Microsoft.
It's not a matter of just light vs dark mode, it's about the proper brightness and contrast for the ambient light you're in, i.e. having a dark theme on a 100% brightness screen in the middle of the night is not something particularly clever (and the other way around - if a light theme feels too bright, it's your display that's too bright, not necessarily the theme). If you haven't done it, research easy ways to change the hardware brightness of your screens on the go - your eyes will thank you. ClickMonitorDDC is my favourite on Windows (it works well even if it's abandonware at this point).
I personally prefer dark mode most of the time, and not like white text on black background but rather something muted with a 50-ish % gray background. I occasionally switch to light mode for when I want more contrast and I can't bring the brightness any higher (e.g. if I bring my laptop outside on a sunny day).
I try to make every app dark, fuck the ones that fall apart when I force it.
As long as it isn't used to fingerprint. (No dark mode on web pages)
Eh... Blue light filter reduces image quality. I definitely 100% use it at night, but I'm not sure what benefit there is to using it during the day, especially when 80% of the screen is black or some shade of dark gray most of the time anyway.
Less eye strain. It's marginal, but when you're watching text on a screen for 8 hours a day, every little bit helps.
You get me!! 🧡
I've tried this several times, but I'm always afraid I'll forget it's on when doing colour-sensitive work (e.g. editing photos). Your eyes adjust to the difference somewhat (so that at one point the yellow starts feeling neutral), but things would still be off in the end.
