| Jun 14, 2022 at 18:07 | comment | added | arana | @MikhailV My eye problem is blurred (unfocused) objects on my left eye, and also I cannot see things pretty well if its a little dark (black remote control on black table = nothing on table for me, lack 3d or such) this gets worst when reading dark font on white BG it gets al blurry and distorted after half hour. | |
| Jun 12, 2022 at 14:03 | comment | added | Mikhail V | @arana does it feel like blurred text pattern or just like too sensitive to the light? Just curious. Have you tried black text on 50% grey background and set text to bigger size additionally? | |
| Jun 9, 2022 at 22:23 | comment | added | arana | I disagree mainly because my eyes tell me to,, I had central serous coreorethinopaty that couldnt fix 100% (more like only 30%) and cant laser it for very specific reasons, since then its dark mode forever or light mode for just minutes. | |
| Jan 20, 2020 at 20:50 | comment | added | Mikhail V | @wada how does that contradict with the answer and my last comment? I'd just turn some lights on if I need to read a lot of text. | |
| Jan 20, 2020 at 1:28 | comment | added | wada | Just consider you have a lot of work and have to read a lot of texts late at night. Tell me that you would prefer to read them on a big white screen instead of a black screen with your tired eyes. You don't even need scientific research for that. | |
| Nov 7, 2019 at 21:40 | comment | added | Mikhail V | @Medievalist Well, I specifically mentioned "text". Dunno about radars and such, I beleive similar rule applies - in the darkness use negative polarity, in the light - use positive polarity. Ideally adjust bg color to match the environment. Just how my vision works at least and since you mention, afair scientific research proves more or less well that it is so by the majority of human creatures. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 17:11 | comment | added | Medievalist | It's not useful to classify other people's desire for an objectively more healthy interface as "a gimmick", and it's disingenuous to say that there is any confusion over what a "dark theme" means. Considerable scientific research, starting with radar displays before computers were commonplace, shows that staring into a white light for extended periods of time causes eye fatigue. Your recommendation, while certainly popular, is scientifically unfounded. The only environment where white backgrounds are preferable is under florescent tube lights, which is a common but unhealthy computer setup. | |
