Dark Theme or Light Theme?

The reason I asked was because if I remember correctly the blackle advantage of the dark screen was lower power consumption, a good thing if one was on a portable power source.

This isn’t a website, it’s a JavaScript application that runs in your browser. Research which browsers render JavaScript the fastest with the lowest power consumption, then factor in the impact on your processor and memory.

Try the summer theme for now - I’ll get it as close to /pol/ as I can.

Would that also address power consumption related to the screen display brightness?

Out of all those themes, I still prefer Dark. However, I intend to play with them all for a while…later.

Check /pol/ in themes now. It’s really close.

That’s a good question. I don’t think it should - not with an LED anyway. It’s not like the old CRT monitors where certain colors would make that familiar ā€œbuzzā€ sound.

Would you agree that it takes more power to maintain a white screen with dark text than it does to maintain a dark screen with white text?

The area of the background certainly exceeds the area of the text.

Now give us greentext @Patriot /pol/ is a shithole now but muh nostalgia.

In theory, yes. I think @supperhey is our resident electrical engineer. He would be the expert.

Want green text? Donate some green dollars.

Dude…come on. How are you doing this.

If the cost of ink wasn’t a factor, I’d like to see books printed on white paper with white (no ink) letters and black (all ink) background…like the ā€œbluelineā€ blueprints.

You permanently caught my typo. Thanks. :wink:

So - before I solve the problem for you think about what you can do here. Figure it out. The options are limitless.

I like this scheme! :grinning::grinning::grinning:
