I'm under 40 and this puts immense strain on my eyes. After reading a few paragraphs if I look over to the wall I will see persistent shadow-text in my vision for 30 seconds or more. Very uncomfortable.
It's to the point that if highlighting all the text doesn't mitigate the dark/white contrast, I'll just avoid reading that page entirely.
- nine_k 3y agoWow, that's harsh; sorry to hear that. I suppose you have already tried to decrease the brightness of your screen. Say, 400 nit at 100% brightness is searing, unless you're under sunlight.
- jorl17 3y agoI’m 30 and been this way since at least 19. I can’t stand most darkmode implementations because they often suck. Good ones are nice. I love coding with white themes and full brightness. Never feel tired. Very lucky in that sense.
- spicynoodleboi 3y agoI know that shadow text vision all too well. I find it helpful to lower the brightness when viewing text like that.
- wruza 3y agoI’m using Dark Reader extension on sites like that. It may sound absurd to do that, but it actually re-colors bs colorschemes and has quick settings for relative brightness, contrast and saturation, so you can tune it to acceptable levels. Without it my eyes bleed on dark toxic sites as much as yours. It also works good with syntax highlighting, because it uses “dynamic coloring” which guesses best color maps for every page. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadp...
