Limmy pls.
(hanged your theme to light
It’s crazy how the first time I read the comic I was fine understanding it but you hacked my brain and now I cannot read that character as a C anymore.
Unlike most houses, in mine the Fox won’t change the default browser.
The Fox is the default browser.

Controversial opinion: if your monitor is set to the proper brightness for the room’s ambient light, light or dark theme becomes a matter of preference. If you’re in a completely dark room with your brightness set to 100%, then of course a light theme won’t work.
Ok now sell me a monitor that tracks the light level like my phone and adjusts its brightness accordingly.
There are actually some models already with a built in ambient light sensor. I don’t know how much of a convenience it would be, whether it would be distracting if small changes in ambient light make the brightness go up and down all the time. I personally prefer changing it manually - I have a macro pad with knobs which are mapped to do that.
Not an opinion, I have an actual situation with my eyes where they twitch uncontrollably when presented with bright lights for a long period of time. I have tried minimum screen brightness, lowered contrast/colors, auto brightness based on the environment, various software solutions to removing blue light 24/7 from the screen - none of it worked. Went permanently dark theme on everything, magically eyes haven’t twitched in years.
Light theme vs dark theme is not just a preference, it’s an actual accessibility need for some of us.
The opposite is true as well! Some people literally can’t read white text on a black background.
Including both light and dark mode is a matter of accessibility!
Depends on the person’s eyes as well. I have a pretty bad astigmatism that makes dark mode god awful to read.
Thank you! I hate how many people act like dark mode is The One True Way these days. No, I don’t want to use feckin’ dark mode, I’m sorry I don’t have your 1337 h4x0r eyes. I have shoddy astigmatism eyes and find it very uncomfortable to use dark mode.
The problem I have with light theme is contrast. I can’t read skyblue text on cool white background.
Although the one light theme is quite good in that regard.
My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I’ve seen are too contrasty and I can’t discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.
Fair enough, whatever works for you - but I feel like this is more of an exclusion and the majority of people are just too lazy to set their monitor brightness properly.
anyone else miss how you used to be able to simply set all the colors and fonts for things yourself? And it was easy. It wasn’t just light theme or dark theme and those are your only two options, but really whatever you want.
windows xp truly was peak windows.
(everyone should switch to linux, btw)
Yes!
It think it’s actually why I’m a Linux user, now.
(I like to claim it’s because I’m very good at software and I understand sustainability principles.)
But…also…Windows took away my pretty desktop.
My carefully tuned, color coordinated, work of art, desktop environment just went away during a Windows upgrade.
And my journey to find a better OS began.
(I am using an advanced speech-to-text Lemmy client to post this, because, I don’t know, some creature just tampered with my setting and I am blind now)
Dark mode users just don’t know how to adjust their screen brightness properly.
I miss CRT monitors in text mode with the field in “idle CRT screen” black and the text in cyan
Dark mode tries, but always goes for maximum contrast
SUMBUDDY A TOUCHA MAH SPAGHETT!
I wish, light mode worked better in terminals. Every so often, it’ll throw some yellow text at me, and it’s just like, cool, I literally cannot read that.
I wish light/dark mode switching would work in editors/IDEs at all. Kate/Kwrite apparently has that but it doesn’t work with Kvantum or i don’t understand the configuration enough. They should just have a “alternative editor theme” and switch to it on signal and be done. Light editor theme on dark desktop switch after 20 o clock burns my eyes.
It does work, it’s just complicated to setup.
In that picture, I’m using KDE applications that are flatpaks for Cosmic Desktop on PopOS with a Kvantum theme. I made a longer post here when I was searching for instructions for how to complete this recently.
After my experience, I don’t really know what the best solution is for setting it up. I guess it would be nice if the major platform applications for like KDE were supported for dark mode by default on the DE. I don’t know, it really bothered me though.
OK. My theme has randomly changed to light at least a couple times in the last 2-3 years. Should I be worried that this fox does indeed exist?
Friends don’t let friends use a dark mode.
Real friends let’s their friends do what they want and don’t gatekeep themes.
Ironically deleted your Firefox and installed Chrome
Real shit
I’ve never wanted to kill a fox before but at least I’ll have a nice orange hat with a tail now.
I killed the fox many times before when it hang my system
