I wish I understood why people use the dark themes on their OSes, apps, and websites. I truly don't get it because my eyes can't process information as fast as they can on a white background with black letters. I don't consider the dark themes to be the natural default for human eyes. Maybe for owls...
@eugenialoli I’ve learned it's a deep preference AND accessibility thing.
I don't use a dark style by default, but do use it if I’m getting a headache, feel like my eyes are strained, or am in a darker room as the lower light emission helps me quite a bit. Other folks say light styles are crazy, etc. I think people just have different needs based on their hardware, body, and preferences.
So to me, the most important thing is to ensure software respects said preferences as much as possible.
@eugenialoli After many hours of exposure to a screen, some people can begin to feel eye strain, due to how much light a light theme blasts into your eyes. I think it highly depends on the ambient lighting you have in your room. If you use your computer in a room bathed in sunlight, a light theme will not "glow" as much as in a low ambient light setting.
