WHAT IS A DARK MODE ?

Let us understand what a dark mode is.

Normally most of the applications and operating systems contains a white background and the Font color [ Typing text color ] is black. But if we reverse the scenario i.e. if we use the WHITE FONT COLOR or LIGHT FONT COLOR over the BLACK or DARK background, it’ll be known as DARK MODE.

The dark mode simply has the lesser brighter portions on the screen.


WHY DO WE NEED DARK MODE?

The pupil, which is a part of the eye changes its size as per the quantity of the light entering the eye.

It is a known fact that the bright light causes strain to the eyes. So, if you are using any scree, laptop or mobile phone, screen for a long time, it’ll cause strain to the eyes.

On the same lines, dark mode, by the virtue of emitting lesser light, is considered to be good for the eyes.

DARK MODE IS CONSIDERED GOOD FOR THE EYES AND IT EMITS LOWER LIGHT WHICH STRAINS THE EYES LESSER THAN THE OPPOSITE SITUATION.

DARK MODE USES LESS POWER FROM THE DEVICES AND HELPS IN A LONGER BATTERY LIFE.

NOTE:

“DARK MODE CAUSES LESSER EYE STRAIN.”

THIS STATEMENT IS NOT BACKED UP BY ANY CONCRETE EVIDENCES. IT IS A PERSONAL CHOICE AND YOU CAN TRY IF YOU LOVE IT OR NOT.

YOU CAN TRY THE GREY COLOR RATHER THAN A COMPLETE BLACK IN YOUR DARK THEME WHICH WILL CAUSE EVEN LESSER STRAIN.
