I used to use dark mode on everything cause my eyes hurt when using light mode, but lately I got fatigue really easily and changed my dark mode behavior to light mode, now I can code longer without hurting my eyes, weird huh.
However, most studies have shown thatdark characters on a light background are superior to light characters on a dark background (when the refresh rate is fairly high). For example, Bauer and Cavonius (1980) found that participants were 26% more accurate in reading text when they read it with dark characters on a light background.
People with astigmatism (approximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white.Part of this has to do with light levels: with a bright display (white background) the iris closes a bit more, decreasing the effect of the "deformed" lens; with a dark display (black background) the iris opens to receive more light and the deformation of the lens creates a much fuzzier focus at the eye.
Might be it's hard for white colour but other colours on black are easily readable. On white, we have a lot of trouble to read bright colour while on black we can easily read the bright colour without any trouble. IDE is made of multiple colours with each element is different, so dark is very suitable is such a situation.
Yep Bro, Everything at last comes to personal preferences and yes there are colours which you can't read clearly on dark but same goes for white theme IDE too.
better contrast, easier for the eyes 😉
Yes that's why I love dark theme
I saw an article that says the opposite.
Let me find it
Turns out that it depends.
You should try it and see if you can keep the same reading speed and how fast your eyes get tired.
While dark theme looks kinda Pro then it doesn't change code quality.
Think about what is good for you :)
Yeah, it comes down to individual preference anyways 😉
Yesss, it's always a personal preference.

Same here bro, I am using dark mode on almost all my devices.

Depends on color palette. I can't agree that colored code is any less readable on white if the right shades that is dark enough is chosen.
You can also chose shades that are hard to read on black.
Not that this is in any way scientific but:

My astigmatic eyes approves this.
