And yet Windows 95 (and all Windows from 3.1 to Vista) let the user set up global color schemes that were inherited by all applications. I set up a "dark" mode in the early '90s and used it until Microsoft inexplicably REMOVED the entire color-scheme editor... just as everyone started to realize how dumb inverse (black text on white) color schemes are.
- hulitu 5y agoNow they have light gray on white or dark gray on black. Talk about progress.
- PostThisTooFast 5y agoMS, which advanced UI more than anyone else in the '90s, is now out wandering in the weeds. Sad.
- zwaps 5y agohmmm dark mode gives me headaches. Why would dark text on light background be dumb?
- PostThisTooFast 5y agoBecause it's equivalent to reading text off the surface of a light bulb all day. Why would you want to do that?
