How many people use dark mode?

[Kazooduck]

On this forum to be specific. at this point, it can be a general discussion

i looked back about a year or so and I don’t see any active polls for this so discuss away! Also this was in a previous thread but do u think dark mode should be default?

Dark mode best mode.

I sit in a fairly dimly lit room, so always prefer dark mode. Easier on the eyes.

Dark mode on my phones to preserve battery life. Also, I like how it looks.

Dark mode isn't suitable for all, for example, people with color blindness. Besides, the option to change the theme isn't all that difficult to get to.

Dark mode is always the way to go (for me). Ever since i started using it on discord, i havent gone back. I really wish every service/website had a dark mode.

Is it not higher contrast? Also then you can change it to light mode later if u want. One thing I heard was have it as default for unregistered users.

Yeah, true but there can be problems with those sometimes (inverted images mostly) which icks me. I have the 'stylus' addon, which allows u to download and make various 'themes' to websites by the css code, which helps, but again theres issues with it (not every web site has a theme). I just wish there was more native dark mode support ya feel?

Completely, I wish images didn’t invert that’s icky, I would just invert my screen if that’s what i wanted.

If you haven't used some browser extensions(E: Seems you have ), here's a great one. I've used it all the time with minimal issues:

Well I'm not color-blind so IDK

i always use dark mode. If chrome browser had full dark mode I might use it. Google is missing out on a lot of dark mode users.

I use firefox, so im not entirely sure, but i thought chrome did have a dark mode, at least as of recent. I know google added a dark mode at least, bc i have it on

The problem there is using google…

[LWM723]

I need dark mode because of my eyesight (which was ruined by using light mode for years).

I always use dark mode except for occasionally on a CRT, it can make the forum totally unreadable

Now

I have a Pentium 4 HT retro gaming system, and I frequently use it for light web browsing. It handles quite well. It's got similar web surfing power to a 2016ish tablet/phone, it's surprisingly capable even though that's def not what it's built for. Picture really doesn't convey how good this CRT is lol

Yeah basically it's a 150 watt Chromebook

pre quantum Firefox doesn't either

I have dark mode set up by default and for most stuff but for this forum I find dark mode looks off so I just leave it on light mode.

I think it fits more actually...

Honestly, I like LTTs light mode as its actually usable. At least it doesnt blind my eyes due to half the screen being pure white. Probably why most people use Dark mode on discord instead
