Do you like Dark mode or Light mode Theme?

Nowadays most of all softwares and apps offer two types of theme, light mode and dark mode. Being able to choose between two themes , makes app look more professional and more preferable by people I think. Personally I use both, but I like more dark mode theme, because I like to work during the night, and makes my eyes feel very comfort and less tired.

I understand what you mean but I prefer slightly light themes because it feels easier on the eyes but not too light. Since different people have different preferences, in order to keep everyone happy, you should have both light and dark themes. I do agree that lighter themes can hurt your eyes at night and that is why I use F.lux which dims your screen at night with a very nice orange colour making it a lot easier on the eyes. Therefore, on my forum, I always have a lighter theme as default and then add a dark theme as an extra option.

It's good to have choice and i have seen many of these themes for WordPress. I also tried some of them, but somehow i personally always stick to using light theme, while dark themes on gaming or video / movies sites looking great.

I wasn't aware of this option and I haven't seen it. I suppose though that I am not the person that checks out all the settings available. I'll have a look for this next time.

Oh yes, some does offer it. I was using "Sahifa" theme for WordPress which offer even 10 different color collections (template colors) to switch in one single click via theme settings page in admin panel

I also prefer a dark mode. The lighter it is the more it hurts my eyes.

I have seen dark themes that look great but I prefer light themes because of my eyes that needed high grade lenses. I easily get a glare from too light though that's why I sometimes feel that I am somewhat color blind. Anyway, dark themes generally depict a negative aura that's why I want light themes that denote a positive aura. But then again, for my eyes, I love webpages with a good color combination that is not dark and too light.
