That is very much a matter of opinion.Dark mode is not easier on the eyes at all
I've never seen any such research, but it doesn't matter. Different people like different things. Happily, it's easy to accommodate everyone by simply having a toggle. People who want Dark Mode can use it. People whop don't like it don't have to. It hurts you not at all to have them add the mode- I find it painful, and there is much research showing that dark mode makes it harder to read and causes eyestrain.
Why not? What does it hurt? What if MLO *ONLY* had a Dark Mode? Hoe would you feel?Not every single app needs a dark mode.
In any case, you are in the minority, since it's getting hard to find apps that do NOT have Dark Mode because everyone loves it so much.
You can customize the text color to some extent, although the process is absurdly complex. But you absolutely cannot change the color of the app itself.MLO already has fully customizable themes.
Well, duh, just like everyone else I *HAVE* been using bright mode for the past 30 or so years because there was no choice. Did you think I didn't know what it looks like? So much brightness is horrible and gives me headaches as my eyes strain to pick out the letters against such a bright background. The contrast is awful and makes thing super hard to read, especially if the text is small. I'm guessing you are a young person and haven;'t yet realized that as your body ages, things don't work as well - things like your eyes. Let me know when you're 55 or so and have to squint like crazy just to read the tiny font sizes and zero-contrast nonsense modern designer use to try to look cool. "Hey, a white font, micro-sized, agaisnt a light grey background!! That should bd perfectly readable!"Try light mode for a bit - your eyes will thank you!
Try turning the brightness on your monitor all the way, reduce the font size in half, and change the font color to only a few shades darker than the background. See how you like it.
