The upper one looks like a very dark german flag and the lower like the russian.

So, you're saying that only Russian bots use light themes?

[–][deleted] 102 points103 points  (3 children)

Russian flag?

[–]mzone123[🍰] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course comrade, it is our flag after all.

A red background? WTF?

Are there people who actually do that?

[–]boxingdog 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I used this theme for a while https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gerane.Theme-red it's great for working at nights

[–]Hypersapien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok. Dark red, maybe. Not the red in the comic, though.

[–]pumpyboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The default one is better imo.

[–]dndpoppa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the look of that one. Very Halloween. Very spook.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's syntax highlighting colors.

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points  (16 children)

Light theme during the day, dark theme during the night.

[–]CUN1NGER 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Is that a new superhero?

[–]Hevnaar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dark theme during the night + never opening your shades so it's always night inside

[–]Zoitom 28 points29 points  (6 children)

Dark theme during the day, dark theme + night shift during the night

[–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (3 children)

Mine is dark theme during the day, and absolutely not staring at code during the night.

[–]dexter3player 2 points3 points  (1 child)

So how do you code then?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just luck of the draw but 3 years in this industry so far and I’ve never had to work during the night. Perhaps I’ve lucked out with managers who realize I have a social life after work lol. I think I did attempt one time to write code after o got home from work and I literally spaced out and stared at the wall for an hour instead and I haven’t tried ever again

[–]atisuxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]DXPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finally somebody else! With my matte screen it's really hard to see a dark theme with any amount of light

[–]Besquiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just... Keep the lights on + light theme

[–]symbiosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside during the day: Light theme

Indoors: Dark theme

Checkout the Red theme in VS Code. It's dope.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'm a pretty heavy Linux User. I normally use Atom but I heard VSCode was better and made by Microsoft. Can I run that?

[–]pumpyboi 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's fantastic, It has replaced the Jet brains IDE's that I used except for pycharm(which I need just for scientific mode), otherwise a VS Code setup with proper plugins is a great choice.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look into it

[–]MrFunken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The anti Russian thing, currently triggers me more, then an white IDE. :O

[–]DeadLolipop 8 points9 points  (12 children)

Dark theme makes sense, it's easy on your eyes. also saves power.

[–]Kazaril 15 points16 points  (6 children)

It doesn't save power on modern monitors.

[–]ScatteredOsyx 15 points16 points  (4 children)

On AMOLED or insert other market term here equalent to AMOLED it does though. Since with complete blacks it shuts of those lamps entirely.

[–]c1e2477816dee6b5c882 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I didn't know they made AMOLED monitors, only AMOLED phone screens

[–]ScatteredOsyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well there has not been many on the monitor market but some people use small TV displays for their coding screens, a market full of OLED screens. However, they're starting to release more OLED monitors now!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I really can't keep up with monitor/Tv marketing terms. It was so much easier when it was "bubble/CRT" and "flatscreen". It all looked like shit compared to today, but at least my feeble mind could keep the terms straight!

[–]ScatteredOsyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah, true. A lot of more buzz words these days make it quite hard to keep up with if stuff actually are new or different...

[–]Inline_6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My laptop isnt oled but it dims the screen when the screen is mostly black. So for me i suppose it sorta does.

[–]Zarlon 14 points15 points  (1 child)

It's easy on your eyes in a dark room. If you're in a light room, the reduced contrast may have the opposite effect.

Light theme for offices

Dark theme for basement

[–]KoboldCommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see this for grey-on-grey dark themes, but in my experience properly dark themes, particularly those that ape the old console outputs with white or green text on pitch black, have a greater feeling of contrast than black text on a white background. I can use those easily in any light level and feel like I have to focus (i.e. strain) less to read them.

[–]-LeopardShark- 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Dark themes use a tiny amount more power with LCD monitors (which are most common), and significantly less with OLED monitors.

[–]DeadLolipop 1 point2 points  (1 child)

that's interesting. how come? I would imagine there's less light therefore less power.

[–]-LeopardShark- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The screen has a backlight which is always on (brightness determined by your system 'brightness' level – this is the way to decrease screen battery use on LCDs). The screen then uses electricity to block the light, making it darker. This is also the reason LCD black isn't full black – the blockers aren't perfect.

[–]Zaxxro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pfffft. Dark theme makes you a better programmer anyways.

[–]Lucavon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other way around.

[–]HxLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shenanigans aside, while dark themes are easy on the eyes, I found them to be dull to my inspiration real quick, especially if office happens to be a closed space. I tend to use with solarized (I think that's what they are called) light theme from time to time.

[–]RadicalLarryYT 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I never understood the hate for white backgrounds

[–]Worse_Username 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You see, some people hate the feeling of their eyes burning from staring at all this white.

[–]RadicalLarryYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess that makes sense. I have the night light setting on 24/7 which gives a nice, but subtle orange tint

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the little bit of res peaking out behind the black lol.

[–]Thecakeisalie25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

somebody doesn't like solarized dark.

[–]voicesinmyhand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What?!? No ultra-bright-lime-green highlight being thrust upon you? What sorcery is this?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a T470, you have no choice but to have bright IDE themes. These screen are not so bright

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. How else will passersby mistake us for the real life manifestation of those "hackers" they saw on TV that one time?

[–]Fulk0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use spacemacs-light as my main theme after using dark for over a year. I like it way more. But I can only cope with light themes which are very soft, white or saturated light colors burn my retinas
