Are you a dark or light site theme lover?

For me, this one is hard to answer. If the role play is supposed to be dark, than I would prefer a dark sight. If the theme is more light hearted than it just makes sense for it to be bright.

 

I love light modes but I know it hurts a lot of people's eyes, so I made both versions. The dark mode was challenging for me though, I couldn't tell if it looked good or not since I really prefer light.

 

Lately, I've been finding it actually depends. I like to have a light mode in the day and a dark mode for night.

 

Generally I like a dark theme with light mode available. Simply because it is easier to see things on a device if I am out and about - less glare.

 

I like the option of both.

I use dark modes when there is little lighting around me, its less strain on the eye. However, I tend use light mode more than dark mode because I work more during the day but in the evenings I tend to have at least one light on.

If I had to choose an initial preference I'd say light mode but if there is no dark mode option on said theme, I much prefer sites that offer an alternate theme you can switch to for darker colors.

 

I like either, it depends on how it's done honestly. While dark skins are usually easier on the eyes, sometimes the color and font choices make it impossible to read. On the other hand, light themes do not have to be white, just lighter colors and there's usually more variety on them without making them unreadable.

 

I had to vote for “light with optional night mode” because my favorite is technically the opposite: Dark mode with optional light mode. Get you a site that can do both. I love dark mode, but I especially love me a good light/dark mode toggle.

 

I find dark to be far easier on the eyes. Especially if you're going to be staring at the same page for a bit as you try and think about what to write.

 

* light *

 

Dark - if it has a dark theme, I smash that tab so hard IDEC what it actually looks like haha

 

I have never loved you less

 

I used to enjoy the darker themes, they felt better on my eyes, and used less battery on my device, however, recently I've discovered I tend to be more creative when viewing the same sites on a lighter theme. Perhaps this is all psychological, or maybe I'm just going through a weird phase. Or maybe I'm going though a mid-life crisis?

I do however, believe in giving members of my forum the option for light versus dark themes, specifically because I have flip-flopped several times myself. This is yet another reason why I'm debating migrating over to XenForo from SMF. Active community development versus relative stagnated development.

 

I like both depending on my mood. However I do tend to prefer dark modes. It sets the mood

 

dark based for sure, i don't want to wake up in the morning and be blasted by the hateful light

 

Dark mode for sure, it's easier on my eyes.

 

Dark themes for sure, my sensitive eyes can't handle light themes blasting the light of the heavens into my brain

 

I prefer dark mode as default but I love a light mode toggle so I can sit with my phone or laptop outside and still read posts

 

same! prefer dark mode as the default but with the option for light mode if I need

 

Dark themes are way easier on the eyes. Light themes I can't really do much, unless they are really particularly aesthetic

 

Dark themes for sure; light ones are so hard on the eyes.
