 Unpopular opinion: Light theme is best

After using every single app and system in dark mode for years, I’ve now transitioned entirely to light themes across the board.

 I…just…can’t. 
 Yeah I was dark mode only for years. I feel you. Fwiw my code / IDE is DEFINITELY still dark mode, but that’s about it these days. 🤷‍♀️ 
 My preference for an interface’s theme depends what I’m doing…
Watching videos: dark. 
Writing: light. 
Creating graphics: dark. 

The Light theme in the ZBD update was a surprise, but I got used to it quickly. I think it works well with the splashes of color in your other graphics. 👍 
 Where’s the lie? Switching everything to light ✨!

 I use the light mode after sunrise and dark mode after sunset on Android. I quite like how automatic it is. I hope this option is brought to more desktop systems.
