@prx I always found that dark on light is much easier to read than the reverse. Nice that there is some backup for that. The only white on black thing is my terminal. Everything else uses a lighter gray or even white. However, I hang out in the terminal most of the time. But I cannot reverse the color scheme, it just looks so wrong. Habitsā¦
@lyse in my case I have the "Dark reader" plugin everywhere in my browsers, for me it's not about the readability but the amount of light coming from the screen, on a white page, whether it's day or night I find myself squinting my eyes in pain, this happen with pure screen brightness too (light or dark), especially on smartphones. I also noticed that the contrast in AMOLED when the background is true black hurt my eyes more, the colored parts seems to glow too much for me. š«£
@justamoment When the room is dark I turn on the light behind my monitors, so the light reflects off the wall. I can't stand a screen shining brightly in face in the darkness.
@lyse That's the issue, most statement seems to come from experiments made in isolated environments that won't resemble in the slightest what a real life case with all the combinations that let you come to the conclusion that dark or light is better.
The best way is to allow both options and let the user decide on what is needed, I too keep dark mode always on, but I have some occasional situations where I need to switch to light mode.
