Do you use light mode or dark mode

[Nickguy5467]

I cannot use light mode for this site at all it hurts my eyes. Am i alone in this?

 

[StarGirl]

No..... its blinding.

 

[RedOnion]

Agreed, dark mode is wayyy better lol

 

[FinalFins]

DARK MODE!

We even provide cookies, they ain't oatmeal raisin either, they are chocolate chip.

 

[BeardedTetra]

Dark here too. I registered at another forum for planted tanks and never go there bc they don't have a dark mode

 

[ProudPapa]

If by dark mode you mean the dark background, no, I can't do that. White background for me.

Most the time i have my sunglasses on because i am out in the sun and can't see anything anyway lol, but light mode works best for me...was missing a lot in dark mode.

Im on my 24 inch screen PC most times and the light mode is blinding. The colors are so much more vivid on the dark mode.

White background for me too. If I go to a site that only offers the dark background I leave. At night I do turn my brightness down to keep the white from being so bright though.

Maybe it's just because of my "mature years", but the black text on white background is easier to read than gray on black, and the dark mode just seems more of a strain on my eyes.

Liar lol! We have the chocolate chips!
Light mode all the way. My aging eyes cannot do the dark mode.

Thats what someone with oatmeal raisin cookies would say...

Actually it’s the best of both worlds: oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

My eyes are old and bad too. I guess it is what you are used to. I have FB on dark too.

 

[AquaticQueen]

I use dark mode. My eyes can't stand the brightness of light mode.

Oh my, you are a LONG way from old. You are all young folks compared to me

Dark Mode FTW~~~
Here's another factor aside from age: I'm no child, but I also have horrible astigmatism, to the point that I almost can't wear contacts because to correct the level of astigmatism I have they must be specially made (I DO have special eyes!)... So as I age and get less and less able to focus properly, the white background just obliterates the text altogether unless it's a bold font and black text. Weird huh? I have a website I have to use for work that uses grey text on a white background and I have to lay my laptop screen halfway down to get enough contrast to read it. I've begged the devs to change it for more contrast and I get "oh I can see it fine! Can everyone else see it?" "Yes we can" "well sorry...."

That is cool. I just use my phone. Might be different if I had not spilled wine on the keyboard of my laptop so that it’s frozen and I actually had a laptop to use lol!

 

[Magnus919]

Dark mode for sure.

Yes, wine is not an approved keyboard lubricant.

I use dark mode as well. Its my default theme every time its an option. I find it much easier on the eyes.
