I think the heapoverflow.ml font is hard on the eyes and so is the default dark theme. Does anyone else agree?
minus-square@dreamLogic@heapoverflow.mllinkfedilink2•edit-22 years agoApologies for posting something from Medium, but it’s probably because of the halation effect. https://medium.com/the-partnered-pen/writers-stop-using-dark-backgrounds-it-triggers-the-halation-effect-36875445aca4 From my understanding this means that (white) font edges bleed into the (dark) background making them appear thinner than they already are. Thus a thin monospace font will appear even thinner and hard to read (if you’re extensively reading I guess).
minus-square@thann@heapoverflow.mlMlinkfedilink1•2 years agoI definitely feel like there are ways around that and staring at white backgrounds is extremely fatiguing to my eyes.
minus-square@sexy_peach@feddit.deOPlinkfedilink2•2 years agoInteresting. Reading on a screen is a little bit of effort, but I vastly prefer light background and dark text to the other way around.
minus-square@thann@heapoverflow.mlMlinkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoIts not the “effort” its just that my eyes feel sore after staring at a monitor too long, and white backgrounds create eye soreness very quickly. Are you on a computer all day? EDIT: I also use a “blue light filter” so I never see actual white even, because it’s unbearable!

minus-square@thann@heapoverflow.mlMlinkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoone size doesnt fit all I guess lol EDIT: Im down to make changes to the theme tho if you have any other suggestions.

minus-square@sexy_peach@feddit.deOPlinkfedilink1•2 years agoThanks that was an interesting article. I think I agree. I tend to not use dark themes. I had a OLED smartphone before, I did like it there. Dunno if that plays into it.
