If a UI has only a single mode, I usually swear and curse into the developers' general direction.
Some people prefer light mode, some prefer dark mode, some (including myself) let their computer switch the mode depending on the time of day. If your software sticks with one mode, whether it's light or dark, you always cheese off half of your user base.
Right now, I am looking at my screens where all apps show in light mode EXCEPT F*ING DBEAVER THAT STILL HAS NOT LEARNED TO FOLLOW SYSTEM SETTINGS!
See what I mean? :slightly_smiling_face:
[2024-05-08 11:03:53 AM] : Yep. I agree.
[2024-05-10 02:59:32 PM] : For me this doesn’t feel important. If software is genuinely useful/solving a problem, I wouldn’t think about light/dark mode.
[2024-05-10 03:20:10 PM] : I can see that.
