Comment on Dark Mode vs. Light Mode: Which Is Better?

Comments

Gray Mode, obviously. /s

Seriously, the best UIs let users adjust things to their preferences instead of forcing one or two-polar-opposite choices.

Letting the use choose is the right answer. I’d go as far as to argue that in some sense, theming is an important accessibility feature because it allows users to adjust UI to meet needs that the developer may not have even known to exist.

Most dark modes suck so much, as they're just "calculated" from whatever theme generator / CSS framework the legions of hell dragged them from.
