​Hi! What do you think about extensions for provide to a web a dark theme to read it at night? Do you use any? Sorry my english im not native speaker, im still learning. Thanks! :)

​Hi.

Gribojedow
​Dark theme used to save power and screens in CRT era.

Gribojedow
​With LCDs dark theme consumes more power than light theme.

Gribojedow
​Most of the web and UIs is created for light theme. Using dark theme in this environment results in unpleasant switches from light to dark.

N0Z
​Yes, that's my problem the unpleasant switches form light to dark. But i think is more pleasant at least for me a dark theme at night time for read text.

​Hello Xah, how are you?

​xah you forgot to change the colors

​just use chrome extension it works pretty well

Gribojedow
​You can force website colors in browser settings. There are also browser extensions that can force colors and fonts. But sadly this rarely works without an issue.

​"Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above" needs to be set to "always" for it to work.

​One way to make computer screen easier on the eyes is using programs like Flux. It has many settings, from red shift to inversions - IIRC.

​@Xah Lee Usually, Powershell has a blue background.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I think you can increase font size globally in Windows 10, anyway.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Plus, there is now a brand new Powershell, separate from the default Powershell. 😁

​Flux application is meant as a solution for too bright screen at night.

​i see that you use a green tone color background for emacs instead of more white tone color background, why is that? Its more redeable than white background and black text? Thanks :)

​Besides getting a better display, one could just set up colors correctly on the current one. There might be a ready, calibrated preset for download at tftcentral.
