Why do so many people use the night theme?

[MoDtEc]

'cause its DAAAARK!

u know vader and so on? the dark side is a lot more badass

[BurgerBum]

TL;DR the whole thread.

I remember doing research one day and found out that it is technically "better"" for your eyes if you use black text on a white background. That said though, I full-time go night theme.

better as in healthier?

[Nowak]

It's simple, really. I don't like bright things. The day theme is too bright for me, so I prefer the night theme.

better as in healthier?

Yeah.

Why do so many people use the night theme?

 

I get that its dark so when you're browsing in the middle of the night your eyes won't hurt so much but ppl still continue to use it in daytime. Why?

Its the contrast that makes it much easier to see

I use the day theme because I have a really big penis, I don't need to make excuses for the things I want.  :lol:

[BurgerBum]

Yeah.

i read the article. seems its only ''better'' for fkn CRT monitors at low refresh rates, and its ''faster to read on'' rather than healthier.... x'D

 

not to mention i tested out day theme and within 5 seconds my eyes hurt like they do when i go to the google home page.

[Whorax]

I usually switch between the two. Day theme in day, night theme at night. Easier on the eyes that way I think.

[Admiral Naismith]

Easier on the eyes, and my monitor's lowest setting is still very bright. Also colors 'pop' better than with the day theme.

 

And it makes me feel like a super-awesome-hacker-badass.

[Remilia]

Holy shit there's a night theme???

Way too much goddamn light pollution, every time I open LTT forums it's like new year all over again.

[Le Lion de Barreras]

Maybe I'm a vampire but I find it easier on my eyes.

[Tygron]

Because switching them is just too annoying and the night theme looks better. It's also easier on the eyes.

I also use a night theme add on for youtube.

[sulairris]

i like to do things at night in the dark i have two screens one have a youtube vid playing most of the time so i think having one web page with blinding white is just fine. that night theme just looks better............. Luna is best pony. (dont tell RD)

[QueenDemetria]

I used to use it since it looks better in my opinion, but I use the IPBoard theme now. I like the extra features and some of the design tweaks that IPBoard offers.

[TetraSky]

Because the day theme hurt my eyes, even during the day. It's just too bright.

I'm already using f.lux permanently at 3400k and my monitor brightness is set at 50% as well, yet the day theme is just so bright that it's bad.

[Nup]

its easy on the eyes, and i really like the layout, i feel like its easier to differentiate things. things look great  

[Skander1345]

night theme is more beautiful imo. And causes less eye strain

[Jade]

if the light is blinding you your monitors brightness is set too high ...

This is more than wrong.  Black background and environment then contrasted to mostly white with very small black text (Black on white within black) is blinding in any case without much light in the environment. Additionally, no chance in hell am I going to adjust my monitor settings individually for the night every night.

[GoldSrc]

Day theme, when you're browsing at night it's a bad idea.

And since I like to go outside to look at the stars, it takes less for my eyes to adapt, the day theme is blinding .

[tobben]

it's just easier on the eyes, i feel it's less fatiguing to look at.

I wouldn't want to switch between the two because sticking

to the one you are used to is by far the easiest, and i choose

night time. Although i think it needs many improvements and 

could be much nicer, hopefully they will do a night theme 2.0

eventually.

[Rohith_Kumar_Sp]

Day theme too much stress to my eyes at night and have to focus more on black words on a white screen , it's just pleasant to use night theme ,no i won't mess my brightness and contrast, it's set according to my Composting softaware

[Oceanwave]

I'll have to enable this... Thanks for the heads up!

[Ertman]

It's because they live in their basements... Back basement trolls!

I am just kidding.... Or am I?... Probably...

[MEC-777]

Easier on my eyes.
