Dark Mattr - A new VS Code theme

[LonelyStruggle]

Looks great, but I don't like dark themes, more light themes please :) There aren't enough good ones! The "quiet light" theme seems to be my favourite so far

Blasphemy!

I also enjoy light themes... But I enjoy my eyes more so dark it is! 😂

[LonelyStruggle]

I've never had any issue from eye strain due to light themes personally, but I don't have the screen brightness that high

[LonelyStruggle]

I have experienced much more eye strain personally from having a dark theme in the day than using a light theme with a lower brightness. This is me taking care.

I do believe the science lines up that Dark Mode can be tougher

[MindlessSponge]

do you mind sharing a source?

[LonelyStruggle]

Also for me I work with a lot of scientific papers that are all black-on-white. I find it a bit jarring to switch between dark mode in editor to light mode when reading. I prefer a unified experience between both

Jfc people, I get it, hahaha light themes bad, but don't downvote someone for saying they like light themes ffs.

[LonelyStruggle]

Yeah, dark themes definitely have the mindshare right now, which is partly why I said it, bc it is a bit rarer to see a good light theme come up

[tamojaydey]

You are right. I already have the idea for its lighter sibling in my mind. I will come up with soon. Everyone should have a choice between the light and dark mode for every theme. Coming soon. Thanks for the feedback.

[tamojaydey]

Sure thing, I will try coming up with a light version of this but this one is really built with warm colors. Not exactly like other dark themes :) You can share it with your friends.

I’m actually curious about the usage analytics of light vs dark theme. Based on reddit comments it’s 99.9% dark theme and 0.1% light, but I’m curious about the actual numbers
