It might be just me but I can't look at websites with black backgrounds and white or yellow letters. My eyes hurt and when I turn my head elsewhere I can see shadows of the website for a bit. I use dark(ish) themes everywhere but such high contrast somehow is too much.
- zozbot234 6y agoOTOH, deep-black backgrounds and green letters (with red/yellow/white highlights) is perfect if you're using an OLED screen. Maybe browsers need adjustable (and site-specific) brightness and contrast knobs, like monitors and TV's.
- sdan 6y agoLove dark blacks on OLED. However sometimes a dark navy blue would be better.
- buckminstrix 6y agoI think new.css is themable.
- 1f97 6y agoi have exactly the same issue. so many websites nowadays choose to have dark themes which are essentially black backgrounds with white text and it is physically painful to read. if i'm invested enough in the article, i always try to change the user styles a bit to make it more bearable.
- redka 6y agoYep, exactly. Last ditch resort is to modify the values via devtools myself but usually I just skip that site.
- ibiza 6y agoThe problem is using `white` on black instead of `gray` on black. The latter provides plenty of contrast while still being easy to read.
