For me it depends on the editor. I usually just roll with the default. For Visual Studio and Netbeans I use light themes, but I can't make VSCode to look good with a light theme, it always feels off to me.
The argument about light themes being "blinding at night" I don't buy. If the screen is blinding you, then you should get better lighting in your room, it's not good to work in the dark.
Also, dark themes give me depression. When I open the IDE and it's a dark grayish rectangle I am like "oh no, I have to work with that again".
- bryanrasmussen 6y ago>it's not good to work in the dark. well I might be working in the dark because I am sitting in the same room as my sleeping son because he might have problems if nobody is there. I assume other people might have similar reasons why they would be in the dark instead of a well lit room at night, given that most people have electricity and know how to switch on the lights.
- skocznymroczny 6y agoBias lighting might be a good option. Just light the area behind the screen to reduce the contrast of the bright screen, but still leave the remaining room somewhat dark.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoyou're right that might be a good enough solution.
- jyriand 6y agoIs Netbeans still used? I remember it was a thing long time ago. I'm going to install it just out of curiosity and see if it can handle my java project.
