However, during the day or in well illuminated rooms, +using a light background is generally preferred, as the eyes can shut the pupil +due to the large amount of light, causing the borders of letters to be sharper, +making reading easier. + +It should be doable to quickly switch from a light mode to a dark mode. Ideally, +we may want to add a way to control the transition so it is not just binary, but +more gradual. However, the minimum requirement for this issue is to provide a +dark mode only. + +The dark mode should change the browser UI (menus, tool bars...) but also the +content itself of the web. For the latter, we would need to define a dark mode +CSS theme, which can override the web defined colors. Similarly, we can do a +similar job to try to adjust images so that the background is dark. + +Some websites can already work with a dark mode and can provide images with +adequate colors for a dark theme, without the need to adjust them. |
