    Many Operating Systems, websites, applications, etc. now have the option to display in a Light or Dark mode. Do you tend to stick to one or the other, or does it vary?

    Dark mode on mostly everything. It's not even really because it's easier on my eyes (because it is), but it's also a huge help for battery life reasons. On occasion, I'll switch to light mode on certain applications though if i feel like I'm living perpetually inside a cave, but that's not too often.

    It's really only a help for battery when using an OLED/AMOLED due to the individually lit pixels actually not using as much power draw (none when it's true black because the pixels are completely off).

    Still, I use dark for everything (aside from web pages that don't properly support it because the mixed results with images and text not rendering properly is just...no).

    Slack finally got a dark theme on Dekstop, and I'm ecstatic about that. Been having to set Dark Mode manually by adjusting their config files. Gets reset each update, but no more of that. :)

    I know the OnePlus 6T uses an OLED screen, but I'm not too familiar with whether or not the Surface Book 2 does. I'm fairly sure it does, which is why I use dark mode on both.
     
    I love dark mode, because my eyes are strained enough as it is, looking at white layouts gives me headaches, unfortunately.

    Fair to say, I also set custom pink themes on some places.... still better than the white, IMO. lol

    OnePlus 6t definitely is (I have a 6 and I'm about to get a 7 Pro), but the Surface Book 2 is not. It's LCD is just that good when it comes to contrast. :)
     
    Dark mode conserve battery better it also wont hurt your sight as well
     
    dark mode everything!! easier on the eyes. not so easier though when you're in broad daylight hehe
     
    i usually use light mode unless that light mode is way too blinding (discord & twitter)
    and then i prefer semidark modes like twitter's blue to pitch black like new reddit's terrible dark mode
     
    Use dark themes everywhere but here, since it seems there just aren't any.
     
    Because of my autism, I always like having a dark mode. It's much easier to deal with on my eyes than light. I have a tendency to not like a lot of white and what not. I'm actually waiting for Wattpad to come out with a dark mode for people with sensitivity issues. ><

    I can relate to this honesty. I forget it's a thing though.
