Ignoring the issue for the moment that "git" is not "github", the question is, what is this "health" issue of light mode? Proper calibration starts with "the light level of a white screen on your monitor should match the light level of the walls in the background." At that point, your eyes are getting as many photons/sec from the background wall as from the monitor. That's the "no eyestrain" level. Or, if your work is "preparing stuff for print", then your white level should match a blank piece of paper -- again, about the same photons/sec as background reflected light. Now, if there's a problem with systems that assume "monitors must be at max brightness", and assume a fixed gamma drop-off that cannot be adjusted, that's an entirely different problem. (There's a viewing-dependent black-level, a viewing-dependent white level, and then you have anywhere from 224 to 255 visible steps between them depending on the color space standard you are using. Mapping from a image's color space to the user monitor is a GUI driver's jobs (X, or apple/microsoft/google OS). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
