I’m not sure what benefit there is to using it during the day
Less eye strain. It’s marginal, but when you’re watching text on a screen for 8 hours a day, every little bit helps.

It could make you less "over concentrated " thus reduce eye strain and stress. As if sitting in comfy room with warm colors. It’s just speculation though.
I’m going by:
Blue light in the room - eyes start to hurt
Yellow light in the room - eyes don’t hurt
It’s the same for screen light, but far less noticeable.
Idk, my eyes start to hurt if there’s too much blue light in the environment (fluos are the worst). Screen blue light isn’t nearly as bad, but a filter still makes it more comfortable.

Personally, I keep it on all the time because I’d just forget to ever use it if I didn’t lol

You get me!! 🧡
I’ve tried this several times, but I’m always afraid I’ll forget it’s on when doing colour-sensitive work (e.g. editing photos). Your eyes adjust to the difference somewhat (so that at one point the yellow starts feeling neutral), but things would still be off in the end.

Every single device and app that has a dark mode is on it. It’s the only option.
Just found out I can dark mode google maps for use in android auto. So happy. My stupid car has a huge touchscreen and I like have google maps for nav but I hated the giant white screen blasting in my face every single time I drive even at night. Now it’s night mode always all the time. Fuck yeah.
I will be changing this immediately.
Mine used to have that option but disappeared from my menu recently which sucks. My phone is always dark mode including maps. Wish I knew why my car won’t do dark mode unless it’s actually dark out because I hate it.
There is a setting to force dark mode.
I can’t find it for the life of me.
i open apps on my phone (galaxy s21?) then click my google profile thing in the top right. In there is a settings option with a gear icon near the bottom. click that, in there is a setting called “theme” and you just set that to “always dark”.
I appreciate the help but I should’ve been more explicit. I’ve done that on my phone, and my phone is always dark mode but my android auto forces light mode unless it’s actually dark outside or in under a bridge or something.
The real crime is that bus driving down the middle of a double yellow line.
My husband is a light mode user on everything and it always makes me recoil. I’ve literally never encountered a situation where I preferred light mode over a functioning dark mode.
Visibility in sunlight for me
I’m like your husband :P I like using light mode all day as my room has huge windows and my room is usually very bright. So light mode on full brightness is essential to work. Dark mode causes eye strain for me.
Dark mode is the only mode for me.

Love it. I wish my older android devices could use dark mode too especially the google apps.
I’ve been using dark mode since dark mode was a thing. Even on LCD screens (although I try to avoid buying devices with LCD when possible/affordable)
Light mode is annoying to me now. I can’t use it .
Use dark mode directly in the sun and tell me how well you can read the text
Sometimes it’s actually better with dark background on direct sun.
If we are talking about devices screen, white background kinda goes yellow on direct sun and contrast reduces. But black background goes dark grey and less light gets reelected back to the eyes.
If we are talking old school paper ( SHOCKING i know ). It’s close to unreadable on direct sun when paper is white because it shines back too bright, it hurts eyes but black paper it much more comfy on eyes.
Note: Reason why black on white was used historicaly is most likely economical. (Less paint, easy to maintain.) If papyrus naturally turned black, all written text might have been in “dark mode” from the beginning.
The trick when directly in the sun is to push the button that turns the screen is off and then place the phone in a pocket and make sure your fingers do not touch the phone.
The difference between black on white and white on black is negligible, especially with modern displays
Yep, gotta love them folks who use “white mode”, full brightness and then turn on all lights in the room because they think it will help them see what is on screen.
Hurts eyes of everyone who gets in the way.Ilove dark mode on my phone, but I hate it on my laptop. It makes me feel sad…? For some reason? I’m probably just used to computer screens being bright lmao
That’s also a very fair take. Dark mode on work computers might put me to sleep…
It’s not a matter of just light vs dark mode, it’s about the proper brightness and contrast for the ambient light you’re in, i.e. having a dark theme on a 100% brightness screen in the middle of the night is not something particularly clever (and the other way around - if a light theme feels too bright, it’s your display that’s too bright, not necessarily the theme). If you haven’t done it, research easy ways to change the hardware brightness of your screens on the go - your eyes will thank you. ClickMonitorDDC is my favourite on Windows (it works well even if it’s abandonware at this point).
I personally prefer dark mode most of the time, and not like white text on black background but rather something muted with a 50-ish % gray background. I occasionally switch to light mode for when I want more contrast and I can’t bring the brightness any higher (e.g. if I bring my laptop outside on a sunny day).
I try to make every app dark, fuck the ones that fall apart when I force it.
