I've read a couple of other posts about this (below) so I finally decided to give light mode a try for a week.
I've switched to all Solarized Light terminal/editor/Firefox/GTK and turned off dark mode in the websites where that's a setting.

- tmtvl 4y agoSolarized Light was my gateway drug to light mode, and I later switched over to using Modus Operandi in Emacs, which really made me appreciate proper light themes. If you use Emacs and/or Konsole you may like it.
- suprjami 4y agoThat's cool. I've looked at the Modus themes before but I think the light version is a bit too light for me. All-white pages are so bright they kinda hurt my eyes. Maybe I need to turn the monitor brightness down...
- coffeeling 4y agoFunny, I can't stand Solaris and usually want more contrast. Most light themes for code editors follow a low contrast uniform hue approach and I just don't jive with that. I've ended up liking Visual Studio Blue a lot for VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DanijelMalinovic.visual-studio-blue-theme https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DanijelM... Then again, I think most new light themes are just designed wrong: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33961645 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33961645
