There's a semi-new
prefers-color-schemeCSS feature that allows for detection of the system-selected dark/light mode. As implementations of dark/light modes become more popular, I think using this would solve the issue of operating in a dark environment and being blasted with a bright screen and vice versa.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
That's a very interesting answer. The approach with
prefers-color-schemeseems very sensible, but I see it's not supported yet in all browsers unluckily.I totally agree with that, despite it's not supported everywhere. My personal opinion is that the most modern approach is to use a dark theme at night and a light theme at day, switching between them automatically.
Personally do what you like and offer the alternative. I like dark themes my portfolio site and apps are dark themed but I always give a light theme option that is remembered on next visit/use.
I plan on implementing
prefers-color-schemewhen it becomes more mature.A lot of it also has to do with having good web accessibility (e.g. Contrast webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/). Apps like Spotify have no issues with only using a dark theme because they pick their colors intelligently.
I would love for windows to change it basing on the sun position. Websites should follow
prefers-color-schemeNice idea for following the sun, great!
Light
You should use both. Dark is good for dark rooms. Light is good for bright rooms
Why don't you make a poll post? 😉
I think both
Dark
I think the theme should be based on the brand and what they are trying to represent. Colors help build a brand identity.
