To darkmode, or not to darkmode?

[MaxHillebrand]

The question is simple:

Do you like your eyes bleeding?

If the answer is no, then the only logical solution is to make the docs in dark mode.

Why Dark Mode?

• A paper is white by default, thus we use black inc to write. A screen is black by default, thus we use white pixels to write.
• The high contrast of dark background and white text is a lot easier to read.
• Wasabi GUI is already dark mode.
• Bitcoin is already boiling the oceans, so we should save energy, and dark pixels need less electricity than white ones.

Why White Mode?

• It might be an adventure to be blind due to white screen radiation.
• Education is not important, so nobody needs to read the docs anyway.
• Babies are dying.

Comparison

Looks nice, right? [The button should have a different color]

Sorry for making your eyes cry...

Easy to read, right? [The highlighted links will be the same color, this is a bug in my dark mode plugin]

Yeah, you don't want to continue reading, right?

Consideration

It is possible, although related to a lot of development and extra code, to have a toggle to switch between white and dark mode. Here it would be important to remember the setting in the last session, which is again more code...

Let's see what the community says.

I think if you have such strong opinions, and you are doing the work, then just do it how you like...

We should just leverage the CSS prefers-color-scheme property, then we are good to go and support the users preferences. It's not much work and I can implement that later today.

To darkmode.

I have implemented this in #53 – let's keep track of this feature request there.

Any one has an idea how to change the mode?

Via your OS’ system preferences. That‘s a CSS based solution that uses with the OS/browser settings.
