If you use a light theme for your IDE then...

I don’t, like, hate you.

But it don’t understand you.

I use dark theme on my desktop but light theme on my laptop, i am the hybrid

Yeah and you think we love you. 😂 I use light theme deal with it

I try to avoid extreme ambient darkness while using a light theme, and extreme ambient lightness while using a dark theme. And even then, not all of my programs have a dark theme, so there's usually a smattering of light levels on my monitors. So my eyes don't explode, I try to get up every hour to stretch and look outside for a few minutes.

7:00 - 18:00 -> Light theme

18:01 -> 6:59 -> Dark theme

:)

It's very very simple. It's a personal preference nothing more.

Reasons I prefer light themes,

1. Most websites and apps have light backgrounds. Switching between code (dark) and web/apps (light) is too stressful for eyes.

2. Laptop screen is glossy. Ambient light messes up readability with dark themes.

When using light themes, I keep laptop brightness to the minimum and it works best for me.

@irene Thanks :) For some time, I used to use those browser plugins that would invert colors of light websites. But deep inside I felt I was killing the originality of those websites. So I stopped that and instead changed my code themes to light ones.
