Closed BeepBot99 closed 6 months ago

BeepBot99 commented 6 months ago

We need light mode because a lot of people (just not me or you though) prefer to use light mode over dark mode.

BeepBot99 commented 6 months ago

I can do this, or you can if you want to.

This poll asked people if they like their code editor colors “dark code on light background” or “light code on dark background.” Turns out about 2/3 of people prefer light code on dark background.

According to a survey, 70% of software engineers prefer a Dark theme IDE over the light theme. You will always a lot of dark theme in the popular theme section of any IDE.

In addition, Advent of Code (which many professional programmers compete in) has only one theme: dark theme.

I'll reopen this if I think we should make it. Will not be in release 1.0.0.

I'm not saying that a lot of software developers use light mode. I'm just saying that the people who do use light mode might not do 12oC if it's in dark mode. The reason I am willing to do this even though I don't really care is because it wouldn't take that much effort. In addition, if I did this, I could make CSS custom properties for all of the colors (only if you want though). 8% of programmers preferring light mode over dark mode is not a lot, but it is still 2 out of every 25.
