Not to mention earbuds and a hoodie.

Why not make the dark theme the default? Most of us developers use it for most things, so it seems appropriate to set the dark theme as default.

The devRant dark theme kind of backfires when I have my phone in inverted mode at night :/

Switched to Dark theme just NOW
IT'S LOOKING REALLY SEXY

So I agree with some arguments against using dark themes but only because they all seem to be about white text on black, but I would never use that as a dark theme... (who would?) Dark shades are where it's at! Take devRant itself as an example.

I had a hockey accident where the hockey stick hook caught me in the eye and among many other things, tore my iris to the point that the doctors couldn't stitch it (something about cutting being reparable but tearing not :/ )

Luckily with some exercises, it healed a lot in its own but still let's in about double the light it should. Since then, black on white for more than a few hours will, without fail, give me a migraine. But then so would white on black, too much light allowed in means that white on black give an almost blurry effect on the characters. Hence, colour shades for the win :D

Just my 2 cents ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sometimes I ask myself why dark theme isn’t the default setting on apps. I mean, light theme WRECKS YOUR EYES!!! How can the common way of designing is to make light theme default or JUST NOT HAVE A DARK THEME!!!!! It’s so unnatural!!!! Anyway...

How do I set the theme to life to be dark?

The first time a dark theme made me sad.

I love the super dark theme!

YouTube dark theme is pretty good!

I'm addicted to dark theme everywhere. Dark Firefox, dark chrome, dark YouTube, dark devrant, dark Reddit, dark Google keyboard. What else can I make dark?

When you're using an app with a dark theme for hours in completely darkness and then switch to one with a light theme

When you’re use to dark theme and the lights in your car are too bright, you black electrical tape all the things...

I’m either more sensitive to light, or I’ve adapted to dark theme-ing all the things.

Slack hit hard with their dark theme. I mean i much prefer dark theme.

But that is daaarrrkkk.

I have a confession to make.. I have sin.. after 8 years of coding in the dark I've joined the light..

How did this happen? Well whenever I would decide to change my dark theme to another dark theme in VSCode, normally I would arrive at the light themes in the list, and for some reason the reading felt more pleasing to my eyes, so I started researching as to whats the best theme for the eye, and why does the light theme feel "more right"?

So it turns out that there isn't any difference for the eye, but that maybe because of the white paper black letters the eye finds it easier to focus on the letters rather than visa versa.

And here I am coding in the light for a month now and it feels great I guess?
Keep in mind I was one of those that would see light theme users as mudbloods and muggles. But I can't deny that the light theme + blue filter makes my eyes more rested.

Dark theme is important!

Double dark theme!

Webtoon's app finally brought out a dark theme, but unfortunately it's too dark.

Firefox knows me; it somehow changed it's theme to dark overnight.

What's your problem with the light theme instead of the dark one in a software?

I'm really curious about how many people use the light and black theme in devRant (I'll call the default dark one dark, the pro one black)

I'm a dark theme user (it's kinda unique to devRant)
My guess is 5% Light, 85% Dark, 10% Black Theme.

Why is it so difficult to get a complete dark theme for eclipse.

Microsoft Teams lets you set a light gray text color that looks like faded text in the dark theme but is invisible in the light theme.
And it lets you set a dark color that looks faded on light and invisible on dark theme.

Thanks. Now I get to argue with my team about it.

I like my theme to be dark just like my coffee ☕️

Right, I get that you prefer light theme. Understood it the first time you told me, even though I've never asked you. But why the hell do you feel the urge to whine and whinge about it literally every fucking time you stroll behind me and see my beautiful dark-and-pastel-colored ide?

Just changed everything (Shell, IDE, ... ) to a dark theme, my eyes hurted a lot

It is ridiculous that google search does not have dark theme. But, other google products like youtube, gmail, keep have...

Dear theme designers, unless you are designing an app specifically with OLED in mind... Do not use black as a main background colour.

It just looks horrible IMO, key example on good dark theme is the windows store and a example of horrible dark theming is the settings app.

And mini rant over.
