Better Dark Theme Sorely Needed

Sat Apr 14, 2018 10:13 pm
In the interest of saving people's eyesight from the ravages of the insanely bright-white LED backlighting now being used on all displays, what is sorely needed is the use of much more pervasive dark mode themes.

As it stands now, in those rare occasions when dark themes/modes are actually available, they only extend to the "desktop"and not to the heavily-used, listed scroll screens like "Settings" or any of the Settings sub-screens. In those cases, it always remains the currently-moronically-mandatory retina-and-cornea-roasting blinding bright white background with the pencil-thin black text, which is of course also deliberately pencil-thin so as to induce vision damage and drum up more business for the eye doctor industry.

I am fairly certain there is some kind of organized crime and racketeering arrangement between the manufacturers of LED displays, GUI designers and the medical industry which pays under-the-table kickbacks to everyone in the computer industry who furthers the use of LED backlighting technology as well as all-white screens, because cornea transplants and other assorted eye surgeries to repair the massive-scale damage deliberately caused by LED lighting and all-white backgrounds is very big money indeed, and the Western world delights in not much beyond malice and money.

And so, what is sorely needed is a new dark mode standard that extends to A-L-L GUI regions of the OS, and not just certain ones. Also, I shouldn't have to also specify that text size adjustment and the ability to bolden text should be mandatory but, as I'm one of those people who actually gave the Ubuntu Touch OS a try and saw that its designers actually put in no capacity to adjust text or boldness of text, I guess that functionality also has to be overtly specified, too -- if not sung by Barney the Dinosaur and written in crayon.
