Does anyone else hate dark mode?


The only app I can tolerate it on is YouTube because it's not black, it's grey. Every other app it hurts my eyes and when I look away I can still see the lines of text.

While dark mode may take some getting used to at first, it is actually better for your eyes.

reply

I prefer dark mode. It's easier to see.

reply

I find myself almost squinting on dark mode.

reply

It does work better for some apps than others, but I find it a lot easier on my eyes. After having Lasik I'm a lot more sensitive to light.

reply

Is that a side effect? I would assume it would make it better for your eyes to see light.

reply

It's not common, and I wouldn't say that it's a bad sensitivity, I was just not sensitive at all before hand, so now it seems more dramatic if I'm not wearing my sunglasses on a bright day, or turn on my phone in a dark room.

reply

Or maybe your eyes are picking up light sources you weren't able to see before and will eventually get used to it.

It's been almost 6 years

reply

Well, at least it's not bad sensitivity like you said. Not sure what it could be.

reply

Where is this site dark mode? White mode is no good

reply

It doesn't have one.

reply

Op has lied

reply

I never said this site had one.

reply

No you have made this mislead topic. Why you try to fool good people?

reply

You need to go back and read what I wrote again. I specifically wrote "app" and mentioned YouTube being the only good one in dark mode.

reply

No you lie, you are like trump or some politician guy who mislead the people

reply

Quit your trolling.

Depends on the content. For mostly visual work I prefer Dark Mode, like for video or photo viewing / editing. Also games, etc. The interface get out of the way to make me focus more on the centerpiece.

But for a lot of reading I like Light Mode more. Like for Office applications, ebooks or web browser. Easier to read and more natural just like books. No one read white letters on black paper books, right?

reply

Oooh. I agree. I don't read books in dark mode.

reply

I think that's why I don't mind YouTube in dark mode. But they also don't go full-on black. It's a dark grey and it's fine on my eyes.

reply

Sounds kinda racist!! ;)

reply

Damn it, I've been exposed.

reply

me! i hate that shit!

i occasionally have switched twitter over to dark mode, but it always feels 'wrong,' distractingly so, and i never stick with it.

reply

I don't know if Twitter has the same dark mode as it has when I had my account, but Twitter had the worst dark mode. The text was way too bright. It hurt my eyes. It was almost neon.

reply

I use a Chrome extension called "night eye" that will create a dark mode for most sites. I like it on Moviechat:

that works

reply

That looks decent on moviechat. It's not black so it won't hurt my eyes.
