Sounds like a bad idea. While stealthier in your case, writing code with a light color theme is heresy. :)

- qwerty456127 5y agoADHD: I actually feel more focused with the light theme, dark theme somehow feels overwhelming. OCD: The idea of having some apps dark and some light (some apps, let alone websites don't support dark themes) feels horrible. Sun: shining bright from the back, straight into my monitor, good luck reading anything with a dark theme.
- rainandcoffee 5y agoIf I'm honest, I very likely have un-diagnosed ADHD or am on the spectrum at some level. I'm most assuredly OCD. I often have an easy time getting my own office over other techs because I'm willing to sit in what amounts to a broom closet with no windows to escape the nasty, overhead fluorescent lighting prevalent in most office settings. My username should give a hint. I love overcast skies, dark offices, and dark terminal windows and IDEs. Strangely enough, I cannot stand dark theme browsers setups. Surfing the web with a dark theme seems almost like wading through fog.

- efreak 5y agoMight be because dark browser themes are rarely complete enough. There's always something off; last time I tried to theme a fully dark Firefox, I couldn't get the address bar text to be light with a dark background.
- dylan604 5y agoAll of that being said, it's still heresy. Just because it may be "right" doesn't mean it's not heresy. Ask history.
