I've gone as far as writing a shell script to easily toggle dark and light mode for my terminal, tmux, Vim theme, FZF and other tools. I think with the right themes, maybe both are equal. I'm not sold on that being the reason most folks prefer dark themes, but I'm also not convinced light mode is better for video recorded content. A lot of light themes will make certain keywords dark colors which kind of looks the same on compressed video. Personally I find the colorization of most dark themes having more contrast between the colors. I very much prefer using light themes but I also record screencasts (400+ of them at this point).Įvery time I run a poll asking folks if they prefer light or dark there's been a majority requesting dark mode in the recordings. ![]() You're making a screen recording of your content to demo or educate others (Youtube, etc.). You've just wasted your good effort by limiting your audience. Plus, if your viewer happens to be in a bright room or outside, your content will be unreadable. So it will be harder to read compared to light mode content. The low contrast, colorful text will not compress as accurately as light mode, so the resulting text will be blurrier than if it were in light mode. Most often, the ambient light of the room will completely wash out the low contrast projected image.Ģ. No matter how many lumens the projector can put out, they will not make your low contrast content as visible as light mode would have been. ![]() You're presenting your content via a projector in a room full of people (and a room full of people will have some ambient light, because safety rules generally prohibit trapping a lot of people in pitch darkness). ![]() There are two cases where dark mode is a really bad thing:ġ. Dark mode is a nice option for a few cases, but it should not be forced upon anyone. This is a choice you can make as your circumstance dictates. If content on a screen seems too bright, the solution is the turn down the display brightness. I predict that dark mode, like the open office, is a hyped up fad that will eventually be proven to be largely detrimental.Įxcept in the cases of saving battery on OLED displays or viewing a screen in very low ambient light environments, dark mode is the wrong answer to a problem of an overbright display. This is to say, it might not be a good idea to arbitrarily decide that color contrast sufficiency is just a suggestion. In the case of GitHub, I can tell you with 100% certainty it has been provided to, at least, the Federal government as part of a procurement, is subject to Section 508 statutory requirements, and WCAG 2.0 AA is the required standard. However, Federal Courts have repeatedly upheld that places of public accommodation must make their websites accessible, they just won’t say how to accomplish that (nor is it their job to). Germany’s BIVT is harmonized with WCAG 2.1 AA, California requires state entities and procurements comply with WCAG 2.0 AA, etc.Īt least in the US, the main sphere where WCAG has not been specified as the regulatory standard is with Title III places of public accommodation. For example, with Section 508/504, the US Access Board requires procurements to be compliant with WCAG 2.0 AA. WCAG has been adopted as the standard for a variety of regulatory purposes. Yes, WCAG are guidelines, but they are not just suggestions in a lot of cases. ![]()
