Quirinus7525yDo you live in the tropic area? I might prefere white theme too, if there was so much daylight time and Sun light amount where I live.

endor56705yA lot of people seem to think that white font over pitch black = easier on the eyes, even if the contrast is actually much higher (and therefore harder on the eyes).

Cyberman2025yI know that light themes are better for my eyes when the exterior is also bright but... I can't lose the feeling that I lose focus using light themes...
It's like dark: ok yeah that my code, I know whats what...
Light: what is this... Is this mine? What does this do? Where am I? -
Quirinus7525y@endor it's usually not pitch black, but gray, and the font isnt white. So the contrast is lower than white/black.
Also, the white background produces much more light, which is not ideal in the evening.
I dont know who the hell is spreading this silly idea, and why you guys are falling for it, and then calling us out like we're stupid. -
Dark theme is much easier on the eyes when you're coding in a dark room like you should

Yeah.... I want to confess i like light themes better. Anyways the colour/theme of your editor does not make you a good programmer.
