Only tangentially related. But I am so thankful for dark themes becoming more common due to personal light sensitivity issues. Usually I keep my office dimly lit as part of this. It has its own downsides (who wants to sit in the dark) however.
People should 100% use what they prefer. I have a good friend who uses light themes for everything. We don’t rib each other (too much) over it.
If anyone has experience with light sensitivity issues though I’d love to hear any advice or thoughts. Daylight is one thing but monitors, which I need for work, destroy me.
- ianai 3y agoDon’t be afraid to wear sunglasses indoors with the lights down/off. Screens actually get darker past turning the brightness to zero by decreasing the sharpness. And be firm about getting up every twenty minutes and looking away from the screen for at least 20 seconds. I still wind up wearing an eye mask on the couch after work many nights.
