Use what suits you best

A white background is supposed to simulate paper. Some people say that a monitor is like a lightbulb, not paper. Other people think that makes sense. But when you shine a desk lamp on paper, it's so the paper reflects the light back into your eyes. That's what white paper does. I would think the light reflected from a desk lamp off a piece of white paper is probably as bright, in lumens, as a laptop screen.

Same reason any underage hates light themes: they live in mortal fear of mom seeing light through the gap under the door after midnight, and barging in to find out what they look at online - whether it be porn, Any Forums, transgender propaganda, whatever.

theyve been making this same tired joke for 5 years. ive tried switching everything to light theme (light on windows, yotsuba theme here, etc) and i dont think it's bad or uncomfortable to look at. i simply prefer the look and feel of dark mode, and that's the end of it. anyone who says light mode is the worst thing ever is an overreacting faggot or someone trying too hard to be funny

this is it

This!

I have debilitating floaters and looking at anything even slightly bright and uniform is pure torture
But I’ll still use light theme during the day

Your theme and screen brightness should match the brightness of your room. Everything else causes eye strain

Floaters are hell with white theme. Sepia is a comfortable alternative

>i dont think it's bad or uncomfortable to look it
yeah it's fine. the bad thing is having your screen brightness jacked up all time and then staring at a screen all day

I use dark theme on phone since it's an AMOLED screen, but on my IPS LCDs on the desktop I usually go for light themes except the terminal.

this sounds reasonable

this post is completely devoid of meaning.

This is the most retarded post I've seen in a long time that it warps around to being based.

I need everything to be as dark as my soul

I have no idea how people can read white text on a black background for more than a few seconds.
It burns into your retina and makes me feel fucking horrible.

This.
I fucking despise dark themes

Your mom can see the light under your door regardless of what theme you're using, retard.

high contrast is great for text legibility. black text on white backgrounds is clear, but large amounts of nits being blasted into your eyes can be uncomfortable. So to keep legiability we still use high contrast, just flip the colors around. It's especially nice on oled panels

I don't know why this is even a point of contention, what on earth would drive someone to nitpick about what color background other people like their text on?

This is one of those AI posts isn’t it

I use light theme because it's how everything was in like 2005 and changing it makes me depressed and highlights how gay and shitty everything is now
