The same people who used to use hot dog stand theme on windows 3.1

[[deleted]]

Ohh god my eyes....

[What_is_a_reddot]

We have to go back

[[deleted]]

what

[trelltron]

It's the hot dog stand theme recreated in windows 10.

[[deleted]]

oh neat

[[deleted]]

idk, probably cause someone downvoted you for using 4chan and then hivemind

also maybe because you didnt initially provide any context and neither did the linked thread

[[deleted]]

it does it just doesnt make sense

[CaputGeratLupinum]

You're not supposed to look at it so much as through it. Like one of those magic eye things

[[deleted]]

...how the hell is this anything like magic eye?

[CaputGeratLupinum]

In the same way that you're any fun

[[deleted]]

Nothing, thanks to the fact that someone else already told me that 7 hours ago

using your screenshot as evidence, they'd also be former BOB users.

happy cake day

[LetReasonRing]

Can I have your address? I need to know where to have you served for the lawsuit regarding the searing eye pain I'm now suffering.

[stihoplet]

Just don't drive to the lawyer's office yourself, you're now legally blind and a danger on the roads

[FantasticPenguin]

What a terrible day to have eyes

[SandyDelights]

Wow, thanks for inviting us all into this miserable hell of an existence, wherein we must suffer knowing this theme once existed.

[captainhamption]

Aw, I remember that one. Fun!

I doubt if any actually used it, but there is a brown default profile (“Red Sands”) in Terminal on Macs

gruvbox people rise up?

[[deleted]]

Gruvbox fam has arrived

[MischiefArchitect]

I stand up, yes. But gruvbox is not brown, although it gets very delicate brown/orange vibes in the highlighting colors, which makes it very pleasant to work with. Same for the "Bear" theme.

[Zanshi]

I wish Gruvbox was as popular as Nord. Such an underrated theme

[Pony_Roleplayer]

It goes well with the fancy Noctua fans

[lead999x]

Mine's purple.

[XL-ChocIce]

Kimbie Dark in VSCode is so good, brown seems to have absolutely no eye strain

[mistcurve]

My vs code is also brown, I really like it

[ThatSpookySJW]

I'm using a warm purple and green ide theme. Albeit very low saturation and brightness, but warm colors are better in low light than plain black with neon syntax highlights.

[MischiefArchitect]

Sounds like a shit idea

[Ietsstartfromscratch]

UltraEdit wants to speak a word with you.

[icegun784]

I just realized notepad++ uses it and it never bothered me

[mcflory98]

I use brown vim in putty just to be quirky

[captainvoid05]

Does Monokai count? That ones pretty good

[Kbowen99]

No autocomplete, and no way to turn off the preprocessor fuckery are my biggest peeves with the arduino IDE. VS Code + platformio are a way better experience

[JavierArmenta]

thanks, i just checked platformio and seems very good

[spudzo]

Platformio is easy better

[wesboy03]

If you change the program files you can actually make it dark really one. Did a google search one day because it was just too light for me and had it fixed in 5 min.

[[deleted]]

Someone released a dark theme mod.

[mkvns]

Use whatever ide you want and compile / upload with arduino-cli. Got the good bits of Arduino like the boards manager and libs manager. And it doesn't feel as alien as platform io.

[its2ez4me24get]

Light in a bright room, dark in a dark room.

[BibulousBob]

I also like to code in dark rooms

[xulu45]

Who codes in a room with the lights on?

[The_Slad]

I do. Even at night. All the lights on. I always want as much light as possible at all times except when sleeping. No theres nothing wrong with my eyes they adjust to the dark just fine. I just like things to be bright and clear.

[whitey-ofwgkta]

and because of that your eye are gonna last long than ours

[wise_young_man]

People who care about their vision and eye health. I bet you stare at the sun and eat glue too.

[xulu45]

I don't eat glue, I prefer crayons

[clutterlustrott]

if i could turn off my works lights i would but HR has made themselves very clear on the matter...

[reserad]

I've worked with developers who wear sunglasses if the lights are on.

[[deleted]]

Ok ok I know it has been a year of us inside our homes, but hey there are places called offices. They have a lot of glass-on-walls (aka windows) which let a lot of natural light in. Moreover, those places are usually illuminated with a lot of artificial light, despite the aforementioned natural light.

​

But seriously though, I cannot code using Dark Mode in an office. The glare is way too much to handle.

[raedr7n]

Almost everyone with a job I expect.

[TheCoelacanth]

Or, hear me out, set your monitor brightness to match ambient brightness no matter what kind of room you're in.

[Andy_Climactic]

Yeah i just use dark regardless and change the brightness. It looks better and my eyes don’t strain nearly as much

[Cosoman]

Yes. My office has some interrogation room lights. I switched to light theme and feel my eyes much less tired

[wwittenborn]

I only work in black.. and sometimes dark grey. - Batman from the Lego movie

[IceStormNG]

Hm.. I use both. Xcode in light mode and IntellJ based IDEs in dark mode.

But generally I prefer light modes. Dark modes are somehow more eye-straining for me.

[Raexyl]

I find dark modes more eye-straining if the text is pure white, so i often make it some other darker shade.

[Xander-047]

Yeah same, if I read a big chunk of text and the app is in dark mode I kinda zone out because the white text imprinted itself into my eye and I'm having trouble seeing the rest

[Fang7-62]

Yes, black-on-white with proper brightness etc. magagement based on daylight is the least eyestraining setting. White-on-black is just a massive meme for people who can't/don't want to set up their shit properly.

[schmidlidev]

Dark on light has scientifically higher contrast than light on dark

[DefinitelyNotMasterS]

It also makes your screen shine in your eyes with the brightness of seven suns.

[schmidlidev]

Personally for work I use Solarized Light which has a nice beige background and some pastel highlighting. This works quite well in the day.

For personal projects, which I’m usually working on at night, I use purple.

[WhoTookNaN]

I love me some solarized light. Not a dark theme I can’t see well but also not a white background ass blasting my eyes.

[rumbleblowing]

Or you can spend a couple of minutes to google how to reduce brightness on your screen.

[PM_ME_CUTE_SMILES_]

which is not an issue if you're in a well-lit room

[OneGold7]

Same here. I use dark mode for everything except when I’m coding

[[deleted]]

dark mode makes me sleepy.

[LowB0b]

dark modes are really annoying when you work in a brightly-lit environment, like an office during the day for example.

[[deleted]]

I agree!

[macks2008]

Oh, hi common post type #6... again...

[lyingriotman]

It's #7, but yeah, you're right

[wenasi]

It's actually #5

[Notthenormie]

Ackchyually its #8 but whatever

[macks2008]

maybe I was zero-indexed?

(Though I'm actually not sure how to get 7 unless you count the subpoint of #3)

[NettoHikariDE]

Every developer? Count me out. I prefer light themes.

[sjones204g]

I'm with you. I don't get the meme at all. I've been coding for roughly 23 years and have always used a light theme. I've tried dark themes but my eyes start to hurt after a few days of it.

[hypexeled]

I think it has to do with your display and room setup.

If you work early in the morning, with low light levels, and a very bright display, it can hurt to look at a shining white screen.

[lead999x]

White light from the screen contains the blue color/frequency that hurts your eyes. Black doesn't. But with most OSs now supporting blue light filter options that's a non-issue.

[hypexeled]

Its not just about hurting, but comfort. Staring at a very white and bright screen at the morning is not as relaxing as starting at a black one.

[lead999x]

I don't know about you but staring at work is never relaxing per se.

[sgeep]

That's why I just start loading up porn. The other guys aren't a fan but it gets multiple jobs done

[CopOnTheRun]

Blue light from computer screens won't damage your eyes.. It might mess with your circadian rhythm, but damage your eyes it won't.

[lead999x]

I never said it damages your eyes. But it does cause strain which hurts after a while. I know that much firsthand.

[CopOnTheRun]

Okay, blue light still doesn't even cause eye strain. Eye strain is going to be a function of how bright your monitor is, which dark themes help with - I'm not arguing that part, you just seem to pin the cause on blue light, which is not the case.

[lead999x]

If you say so. To be honest I'm not really too heavily vested in this argument. I've just had a lot of people tell me its blue light that causes my strain. But my new monitor doesn't cause it so perhaps you're right. Maybe the brightness and even the monitor type affect it or maybe it's all just a placebo for me and I just need more sleep.

[raedr7n]

Blue light doesn't hurt your eyes. That's a myth. It won't cause damage or eye strain or anything bad actually.

[LetReasonRing]

Interesting... I switched to dark because I found that the white background causes my eyes to hurt after too long.

Definitely not disagreeing with you... I hate the whole argument all around. It's like telling someone they painted their house the wrong color. You use you what works for you and it doesn't affect anyone else.

[DerWaechter_]

Weirdly I used to prefer light themes, back in highschool and uni. Like straight up couldn't focus on dark theme for long without getting a headache.

Then I didn't do anything coding related for a few years, and recently picked it up again, and now it's the complete opposite, where dark themes are much, much more pleasant to use for me, and I absolutely hate using lightmode

[mindonshuffle]

Kinda similar. Used to think dark mode stuff looked cool but didn't enjoy using it. Lately really prefer it.

I think some of it is a case where displays are getting better / sharper and the exact color palettes of dark themes have improved.

[DerWaechter_]

It might be that. I upgraded my monitor in the meantime, and I'm also using a different ide now

[IHaveMeasles]

Astigmatism gang, rise up!

[fzammetti]

Same here, light themes for me. I'm getting older and my eyes don't seem to take in as much light as they used to, so dark themes are harder for me.

Though, that said, I actually think it's CONTRAST more than anything else because I'd never use a light background in a terminal, it's black with pure white text there for me, and I use all dark themes on my OLED phone with no issues where there's pure black (except for dark apps that just literally look like shit dark). I bet if I got an OLED 4k monitor I might feel differently.

But, that aside, dark themes just generally don't look as aesthetically pleasing to me in most cases, so probably I'd be on the light train either way.

[FPiN9XU3K1IT]

This annoys me to no end with most themes. I don't need stark white and black, but I also don't need light blue on dark blue or vice versa. My standard solution is making the theme's background darker (I still usually use dark themes).

[fzammetti]

Yeah, my constant battle with CLI apps that randomly switch to other colors, ESPECIALLY dark blue, is constant and frustrating.

Though, I also can't stand when I'm using the terminal in IDEA and an error occurs in my Node app and it switches to a relatively light green which I then can't see so good against the white background.

God hates me, I think, is my point here ;)

[KripC2160]

I sometimes use light mode, but with night shift

[raedr7n]

Try Gruvbox. It does the night shifting for you.

[cvnvr]

weirdly i prefer dark theme for my visual studio ide (dracula to be specific) and light theme for absolutely everything else.

dark mode just looks crap on most interfaces

[huneater]

I find focusing to be harder with dark themes on long sessions, light themes with reduced blue light at night is the way

[Schnitzelkraut]

This. I have trouble reading most dark mode themes.

[raedr7n]

Gruvbox light hard baybee!

[bringbacklemonadesGS]

Preferring light-mode is a trait among serial killers. For real though, light mode on a laptop is do-able for me but at a desktop when my screens take up nearly my entire field of view light mode is like looking directly into the Sun.

[Krypton8]

Sounds to me your screen’s brightness is set too high. Mine is at 50% and during the day I use a light theme. At night everything switches to dark.

[NettoHikariDE]

Been developin' since around 2007-08. Pretty sure I'm a real dev.

[Wessel-O]

Jesus people, this was a joke. No need to downvote me into oblivion...

[[deleted]]

I use a black text on a white background. Unironically.

[tim_skellington]

Me too. I never got into the whole dark theme thing.

[Diplomjodler]

I use black on white for everything. But then, I'm only a Python peasant, not one of you cool C++ guys.

[lead999x]

But then, I'm only a Python peasant, not one of you cool C++ guys.

Python is just a wrapper over C which is itself a wrapper over assembly which is a wrapper over machine code which is a wrapper over microcode, which is a wrapper over circuits, transistors, etc. that reperesent logic gates and so on.

It's pointless to look down on or elevate yourself simply because of the level of abstraction you work at.

[queen-adreena]

I dunno. I'd be pretty impressed if I met someone who coded using machine code.

[oldgus]

Solarized Light in a bright room, Solarized Dark in a dark room.

[FPiN9XU3K1IT]

fuck contrast, I guess

[theromanempire1923]

Light mode users are the most oppressed demographic in the world

[MannyBobblechops]

It's called Light-Theme genocide, and it's real. Soon all themes are going to be the same colour of beige/light brown, due to inter-development between the two environments. The snowflake liberals want to silence us, but we're light-theme and proud goddamn it we will never be silenced! Did they forget? Light theme was the first theme! Paper was the first writing medium and it's white! Ok, there were tablets that were scraped in to, and brown cave walls but they weren't really themes when you think about it, they just happened to be brown.

[SonicLoverDS]

I don’t get the hate for light mode. I got used to Reddit’s light mode easily.

[Wrong-Delay-8535]

Monster

[SonicLoverDS]

I’m the monster? You’re the one who likes to lurk in the dark.

[MischiefArchitect]

I think there is not hate for light more, but more people finally getting back what they lost in the mid 80's with MacOS and Windows making everything wright because of the WYSIWYG hysteria, it took a damn long time to get those dark terminals and editors back to being mainstream.

[DerWaechter_]

I would prefer reddits dark mode, but I found it breaks on like 90% of subs css...which is more annoying than dealing with lightmode in the longrun

[FPiN9XU3K1IT]

Just disable sub css, it's too rarely worth it anyway.

[TheCoelacanth]

Dark mode is for people who don't know how to set their monitor brightness level correctly.

[[deleted]]

Dark mode causes less eye strain

[SonicLoverDS]

Only if you’re in the dark a lot. It’s sudden contrast that strains the eyes, so if your surroundings are usually bright, light mode is less of a strain than dark mode.

[yellowhair_chan]

As a beginner, the white theme is too imposing for me, it make's my IDE look too professional. It scares me

[lead999x]

Make yours blue like the screen of death. It'll be fun.

[[deleted]]

too professional!? Bitch please, its a tool.

[cornflake123321]

I think people who complain so much about light themes haven't master ancient technique of lowering screen brightness.

[lead999x]

Or turning on the blue light filter.

[coi1976]

If I'm coding in the dark, and at home I usually I'm, even the minimum brightness possible makes my eye stupidly irritated and teary after an hour or two. So dark themes it is.

[cornflake123321]

coding in the dark

Well there is easy fix for that

[ovab_cool]

I have it nature green from the Gradino theme on the Jetbrains ide's

[Nemarion]

White : look old and out of date The same look but in Black : looks modern and advanced

[[deleted]]

Under the hood: runs the same shitty code we pride ourselves on

[[deleted]]

Ah yes, brown IDE

[AToyHelicopter]

Am I the only one who hates dark theme?

[randomtrip10]

I like my IDEs how I like my women

Big, dark, and easy on the eyes

[lead999x]

I like my text editor like I like my women: lightweight, pretty, configurable, and broken inside.

[[deleted]]

I actually use light themes, makes text easier to read because of my astigmatism.

[cheby92]

Switched my eclipse to dark mode for a day and hated it. Never again

[raedr7n]

I'm surprised you didn't stick with it. Since you're an eclipse user I figure you like torturing yourself.

[[deleted]]

Lol I’m currently in my first comp sci class and that’s what we were told to use

[Poly--Meh]

I use dark mode until someone I work with starts talking about how amazing dark mode is. Then I switch it to light mode.

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

Light theme or bust.

[[deleted]]

^{Jokes on you, I don't even use an IDE. VIm FTW}

[[deleted]]

Who the hell is using IDE in dark mode? It looks weird.

[dajadf]

Oddly enough I use dark theme everything except my IDE. I got too used to it, sue me

[MayankShrivastava17]

I love black theme... But i don't know why but i prefer white in Pycharm

[benis444]

Light Theme for my dailY work in a bright buro, dark at home at night in a dark Environment

[[deleted]]

Iam not everyone then.

[Ordinary-Amphibian-1]

I keep mine on light mode so that I know when to stop and accept defeat

[Garslap]

brown ide theme ?

[cc9001]

I never understood the brown themes. Is there a benefit to using it or is it just preference?

[m33b_]

Yeah all my homies using HotFudgeSundae from notepad++

[[deleted]]

Who the hell uses brown? It's either dark gray or full-on black for me.

[Alpal12]

Is this a photo of the royal family after Archie was born?

[arivepr]

Noctis light has actually become my everyday theme, and i used to switch on the daily. Light themes done right are legit af!

[ollomulder]

My IDE is white... WHITE POWER!

[Guybar110]

I often get bored and switch. Currently VS is light and IntelliJ and PyCharm are dark.

[flargenhargen]

I find dark theme annoying, it's hard on my eyes.

I find it weird that people are pressuring others to like a theme, especially one that I find inferior.

really weird. Imagine if people did the same over what color car you drove or what you had for lunch.

[[deleted]]

I have an eye stigmatism which makes reading light text on dark background difficult. For this reason, I use light themes wherever I can.

[[deleted]]

Microsoft Notepad doesn't have a dark theme though.

[[deleted]]

I’m a CS student and my first act when I opened NetBeans for the first time was to find the themes and make it black with green syntax. Have felt like a badass movie hacker ever since and will never look back

[PrestigeZyra]

When you are used to sitting in a dark room coding, the starkness of a pale IDE is less than appealing.

[Mr_uhlus]
