You should do everything on dark mode because:

  1. it saves energy = green for the planet
  2. it heats the room less

For decades I've had dark wallpaper on windows for those two reasons, and I change whatever I can to dark more to save energy and have less stress on the eyes.

This is only relevant if you have an OLED display and you use pure black, not just a dark colour like dark grey or dark blue, if I remember correctly.

I had CRT back in the day :) for me flat screens are still a new thing.
