I stare at a computer all day and I hate low contrast themes, including solarized.
I am not claiming my view applies to everyone, so please, could you stop doing that. It is subjective: there is nothing inherently superior about solarized, even for people who stare at screens all day.
And it is not just an accessibility issue. It is a subjectivity issue.
- auganov 6y agoThere is surprisingly little research on this. Personally I find that contrast between different themes, that is when switching from say one website to another, is the most eye strain inducing. Going from reading black on white to white on black or vice versa just hurts. I keep everything black/dark on white themed since that's how most of the world works. I suspect many who use certain themes experience eye strain when viewing normal stuff and falsely assume it proves the efficacy of their theme.
