Do you use the Black or white theme on the forum? Should white be Default?

Lets see which one should be seen as default :D

 

 

Well, it's generally because that color blue burns the eyes of any dark theme user like the blazing sun. Bickering implies arguments. Arguments imply two sides. Wrong word. 

I added what I thought of it sort of. The OP is obviously new, so we should mention it to him about his post choices so he can provide posts that everyone can enjoy without getting a headache. It's not his fault. He's new, but he needs to know these things. 

 

 

The default theme is white, I see no reason to accommodate people using darker themes until it becomes the default one. 

 

 

It's officially supported by the forum. Default or not, a lot of people use the dark theme. :| 

 

 

I would argue that dark theme users shouldn't necessarily have to accomodate people using custom font colours when the default one is legible on all themes.

I use dark theme, but light or day or w/e theme should be default as that's more consistent with, well, the rest of the internet.

Dark theme should remain as an opt in.

Plain IP.Board, since it loads quicker at school and my grandmas. And I kinda like the look of it better. When they come out with a blacked out version though... I'll get that one.

Regular white theme. whatever it may be called.

Dark theme just seems to be inconvenient as i've seen many people complain about text formatting and things like that.

 

Ps. Blue text huh?  :P

TURQUOISE!? CYAN!? MEDIUM BLUE!? OR JUST BLUE!?

I use the default IPBoard theme, I don't really like the grey in the day theme and the night theme is nice but sometimes things aren't legible and it's not worth it.

I use white because I don't feel like changing every time I use a different school computer.

 

But I use black at home or when I'm out because tapatalk

Day theme, it's mostly text here so I find it easier on the eyes... So many issues with copy/pasted stuff too.

 

I prefer dark themes on image sites though.

I prefer the day theme but honestly, the day theme isn't that great either. The contrast ratio in the dark theme is just too high, and there is evidence that shows that's bad. The day theme isn't that much better in this regard, but at least we have light gray on the borders in the day theme.

Two other issues I got with the night theme. 1) A lot of people don't copy/paste text correctly (leaving formatting on and copies the color info with it) and 2) It looks awful with things like the blue "Like This" button and the reply box sticking out like a sore thumb.

 

Very dark gray on very light gray is the best, followed by black text on a white background and the in last place white text on a black background in terms of readability.

Night theme disgusts me. Wayyyy too dark.

I prefer day theme on desktop and on the phone (I highly dislike mobile version of LTT website, so I use the regular desktop version. Slow, but much better than the mobile version), as it's easy to read. Though I prefer night theme on the tablet as it's harder for others to read it while on the move. Dunno why.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

No shame in it. I saw it maybe few weeks back. Before that I had no idea about "night theme" when users talked about it.
