@mrzogg2001 this, all of this... spend a day on a dark theme then switch to word or something light, you'll feel the physical strain.

Brachacz487yDark for the night, light for the day ;)
Personally, it causes me strain to distinguish characters in dark theme when it's really bright outside - I sit on front of a window. -
Sabro3146yResearch has been done on the subject, showing there is no difference in reading speed or eye strain. Except on e-readers where black text on a whiteish background allows for slightly faster reading.
