Looks fine but I don't know how you can use a light theme.... Hurts my eyes. :)

Firefox skin is cool also. I think I used something similar before also. It's from one of the https://github.com/vinceliuice themes right?

People with astigmatism need it to be able to read anything on the screen. Also light themes have very good aesthetics capabilities. Dark ones are common and boring now

What does astigmatism have to do with using a dark theme?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Astigmatism is when every bright thing you see is copied multiple times with some offset in your vision. When it gets quite bad you can't see bright text because the offsetted one covers it completely and you can't read that either because there's more offsetted text that overlaps each other and it's a bit unstable too. When you use a light theme the background is the thing that gets offsetted but smh it can't completely cover the text but just makes it slightly grey instead of black

Interesting, my near sightedness is the result of astigmatism but this is the first I've heard of any issues related to brightness.

I much prefer white themes for everything. The reading contrast is great, just like when reading a book.

When working in a properly lighted room, dark themes are an eye sore.

Of course, this is only my personal opinion.

Yeah, that's correct. Firefox whitesur
