- kyle-ssg 3mo agoHaha fair enough, my colleague always says the same! Actually the theme's already separated into a JSON file so this will be trivial.
- sitzkrieg 3mo agonot to mention that light themes produce less eye fatigue and strain. but who cares about that
- bsder 3mo agoAnd dark themes hide my floaters and are easier on my old eyes. There is not one singular answer for everybody.
- sitzkrieg 3mo agodo you use a dark theme in a well lit room? i did for my first year as a dev long ago and got the worst eye fatigue of my life all the time. as soon as i switched to a light theme that matched the room i had zero problems since, that’s my anecdoata
- worldsavior 3mo agoWouldn't it be the opposite? Light themes cause more blue light and thus increasing eye fatigue.
- sitzkrieg 3mo agono, it’s a matter of contrast and readability and matching your ambient lighting. i’m in a warmly lit backlit room. i don’t sit in the dark like an interrupt gremlin
