Where did this dark mode craze come from? Don't get me wrong - I quite enjoy dark mode most of the time, but why now and not earlier?

- aitchnyu 7y agoTo speculate, screens are progressing to display dark mode well. I get eye strain from Jetbrains Pycharm dark theme, the terrible way it renders on my laptop, so I am holding out now. Holo theme for Android may have accelerated the trend from 2012. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2012/01/holo-every...
- jayflux 7y agoI feel like it leaked from developer software engineering culture into the mainstream. Dark mode on text editors has been a thing for a long time, I’m guessing a few people finally decided to do it in other places.
