Dark mode versus light mode

[The_Woo]

Yep yep, definitely try it out. Let me know what you think!

I'm liking it!!! I can see where some apps are not as easy to read the text, but not a deal breaker at all.

Thanks for the rec

Yeah but of course! I've been using that nice for a while now. It's pretty cool overall.

Dark mode for me ever since Android 10 came out... live earth dark wallpaper as well I can't believe it took Google so long to get rid of the blinding white I had dark mode on my windows phones YEARS before Google took the hint lol.

 

[eric002]

Hahaha, yeah, that's for sure! I just use my own wallpapers. But I know what you mean.

I tend to lean more towards dark mode but sometimes I'll switch to light mode to switch the look up a bit. Also, depends on the wallpaper I use. I tend to use dark mode probably like 85% of the time and the other 25% light mode.

Makes perfect sense to me though I'm thinking you use your device about 10% too much

Rofl doh! 100, 10% to much. I was thinking of 75/25 ratio but not sure how I wrote 85 I guess either it was on my mind or a typo. The other alternative could be that I'm just bad at math.

Hahaha now that's just too funny ñ

Dark mode is much preferred and the best new feature of android 10 last year when it was released. I have a few apps that also benefit from the dev setting “force dark”. Chase app is one for sure. If I go into that app and forgot to reset my dev settings since last reboot it lets me know right away with a glaring blast of white that gives the old brain and eyes quite a jolt. Dark mode FTW! Definitely!
Furthermore now that iOS has it I find my iPhone much less annoying to use on those rare occasions.

Just out of here yesterday, how many people here use dark mode versus light mode on their phones?

I can't stand dark mode anything. Screw battery life! Light mode FTW

Haha oh really? Lol

Yeah like I'd use it for a while and it would seem ok. Then when I switch back to Lite Mode again everything seems so much better and more comfortable especially Instagram.

I use Dark Mode and tried the Developers mode one but too many apps were not optimized for that making them hard to read. So just regular Dark Mode for me.

I mean to be honest with you, I'm trying out light mode as a trial test to see if my apps on my phone are any more responsive than in dark mode for the UI of the operating system. I mean I know it sounds weird, but I feel the same exact way sometimes.

I swill switch between the two, depending on my themes, even my mood, or if I think my eyes need a rest.

Thanks to Theme Park, I'm half in dark mode as far as my drop-down notification shade and icons go. But otherwise, I'm light mode. I love both!

For the current moment or so, I'm trial testing light mode on my phone. so far honestly I like the appearance and the performance of the phone overall and light mode versus dark mode.

Dark mode FTW!

I do agree with you overall, dark mode is nice!!

Light Mode seems "cleaner", for some reason. Last night after reading this thread though, I switched over to Dark Mode completely! So nice on the eyes! Let's see how long this lasts!

Yes ,dude, I completely agree. For some reason, I know it sounds weird, but light mode does seem a bit cleaner for the UI and apps in general. I'm not sure if it's the way Google design dark mode, or is just a placebo effect. But I know exactly what you mean. How come yeah, tell me what you think of dark mode on your phone. I like dark mode but like I said, I'm definitely trial testing light mode on my phone now.

It definitely does, for some reason! Maybe because we have had Light Mode for so long that we're just conditioned to like it more at this point? Who knows! I'll keep you posted!

Oklahoma likewise, I'll keep you posted as to what I figure out from this test after a few days and light mode. Yeah we're all conditioned to thanks / believe that dark mode is better than light mode. And in most cases it is. Darker colors are better on the eyes than bright light colors are. As far as the screen technology is concerned. That's also true. I'm just talking about responsiveness, smoothness and fluidity overall. Regardless of how much RAM we have and how much battery capacity we have etc etc etc.
