Are you sitting in a dark environment?

I am sitting in a way too bright environment. Light on background + light means that everything is washed out and I can't see anything, but with the light of a million Suns carving its path into my brain.

I wish CP had a dark theme

I have good outcomes with the nightlight feature which knows when the sun will rise and automatically turns it off. It does both reduce brightness and applies a blue light shield. Still, I use dark mode as often as it's offered because it's still better than the night light.

From the other direction, unless I'm in a room with closed blackout curtains and no other sources of light what would kill my eyes is the brightness difference between a darkmode screen and the wall behind it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's easier on old eyes like mine.

Interesting enough, majority of web sites does not use a dark theme.

I hate them for that - CP included. There are third party browser add-ons that can create dark themes but:
1) They suck if the original fonts are not black and the background is not white;
2) I don't trust a third party free add on that accesses the HTML I'm viewing and modifies it on the fly.
Dark themes should be an accessibility feature on par with screen readers compatibility.

Maybe it's something that would help my 76 year old eyes.

It really saves me eye strain, but the contrast has to be stark. These sites with dark theme and gray lettering are really hard to read. I'm 72 and I spend a lot of time in front 9of the monitor so I favor the darker themes.

I use the IntelliJ IDE. It has a high contrast dark theme, where dark areas (background) are totally black and fonts can be configured to bright colors of your liking. I love it!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I do a lot of my coding at night, and the dark theme is much easier on the eyes. Plus running on a 55" 4k screen, all white tends to just be a lot of light.

55" 4k? I assume you'll not sit too close to it.

Ehhh. I don't know what too close is. It's not backlit, it's QLED so it's not as bad as older screens.

QLED is backlit. But it uses LEDs for backlight as opposed to vacuum tube lamps.
|
|

Oh. I did not know that. I thought LED screens didn't need backlight.

They need it because LEDs are bright. If you don't backlight the screen you would get bright colors much more aggressive on your eyes and bleeding out in the neighboring dark pixels, creating artifacts and glares on a pixel by pixel basis.
So you keep a backlight and lower the intensity of the LEDs. A non backlit LED screen with a dark mode would look like a lot of pinpricks slammed in your eyeballs.

A white background is better for my eyes these days.
Bright-colored text and graphics (not images) moving on a black screen causes me headaches.
