Oh no! Those pesky Minions are at it again and have snuck another Light-mode/Dark-mode post into the queue. This time, MICROIDEATION recounts his journey from avid dark mode fan to the realization that, as Irreal keeps telling you, light mode is better.
MICROIDEATION was a true believer in dark mode. He configured it wherever it was available and eagerly awaited its implementation where it wasn’t. He admits that it was mostly about making himself feel cool. After a while, he realized that all the supposed benefits of dark mode were either illusory or flat out wrong. In particular, he discovered that
- Dark mode is not easier on the eyes
- Dark mode does not appreciably save on battery power
- It has usability problems like hard to read fonts and, really, it doesn’t look as good as light mode.
Of course, these things are a matter of taste and everyone should feel free to use whatever theme they like. Still, once the dark mode fad has run its course, the Minions are going to be insufferable. You might want to get on the right side of history.
