Which 'theme' (Dark/Light background) do you use on ATS?

And the light screen would be the choice of the Illuminati?

I use the dark background.
Actually love it!!!!!!

My eyes do NOT like the light background....and far too many websites use light colors....almost impossible to read.
Some even have white background and grey fonts.....WTF could they be thinking.

Use Deluminate, which automatically turns all white background black. So it's actually a black background (with the default white background).

Also use f.lux. Everyone should use this on their PC especially if they game or use their PC a lot at night. Cheers.

I use the black and grey theme. Occasionally I switch to the grey and blue, but typically, I use the black and grey.

Same here. An ex-favourite site was BBC. It used to be full of intelligent articles and they've changed it to a glaring white wall of sparse trivia. It's like the aesthetic equivalent of 'shouting' in the same way ALL CAPS LOCK is.

Dark, always!! I literally detest the lighter one; harsh on the eyes, and doesn't really fit the site as well. Only on a computer here, for what that's worth, never a mobile device, and I understand some using those prefer the lighter. I like the grey; its soothing, and quiet.

Oh my god, buzzywigs... What happened to you??!



I use dark. It seems to be easy on the eyes. Plus, my phone is my primary access to the internet, so a dark theme uses less battery power.
