#darkmode

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Been using #KDE Okular as my default pdf reader on #Linux, and just worked out that there's a setting that allows you to specify dark and light colours, meaning you can read pdfs in #DarkMode. No more having to put sunglasses on to read manuals! And you can assign it to a keyboard shortcut, so I've set it to the same as #DarkReader in #LibreWolf.
I love it when Linux Just Works.

Question for you #webdev peeps:

I've made a site and it's totally in dark mode. How I like it 😊

But some people mentioned that I should offer a light mode toggle because "some people are not used to dark mode and won't like it".

Do you think that's valid?

(Someone else said that there's also potentially an accessibility issue with dark mode - is that true?)

Is there some correlation between dark mode on screens and not being able to see text clearly? I have astigmatism and a few years back, dark mode was a blessing on every screen, big or small. However, now on my phone and small screens text in dark mode feels more difficult to read. Is it a contrast thing? Are my eyes just fucked? Also it seems there are about 99 different implementations of dark mode? Not just for dark black OLED screens. #darkmode #screens #eyes
