Add a "Light theme" to the main web page.
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2019 2:53 pm
Reading the FFF today, and once again I experience what I'm going to call "optical distress" as a result of forced "dark mode".
So... I would like to officially request an alternative option for the factorio main page (and sub-pages such as the FFF).
Further reasoning below.
I find it annoying how I appear to be the only person who can't use "dark mode", I don't seem to see anyone else complaining about it, do I have uniquely irritated eyes or something?
What tends to happen is everything except dark areas "burn" my retina fairly evenly. Black text on white has significant enough white between the characters that the effect is still fairly even. Black text on white on the other hand only has the white text illuminated on a black area. therefore, this light coloured text "burns" my retena, but the black background does not.
as a result, I end up with lines burned into my vision equil to the line spacing of the text, which persists for several minutes afterwards, and that is the part that is quote painful, not actually reading the text.
by the terminology, Burn the retena, I'm of course speaking of the effect where your eyes, and brain try to cencel out the image you're seeing. If you were to look at a static image for a few minutes and then look away, looking at something of a flat colour, you still see that image in your eyes for a few moments. Reading anything with a dark more theme basically results in what looks like I'm trying to look at the world through a grate, and this causes me very real Distress.
