My office is pretty bright in the mornings, so a dark theme makes it difficult to read.
It's more pragmatism thant aesthetics hahaha

I find dark themes a lot easier on my eyes. Both in day and night.
Right now using Material Ocean

Collapse

Banji

Yeah we need to take care of our eyes all the time
I prefer Warm Color with dark themes!
Just using a dark theme is not enough in my point of view, your theme needs to have a lot of warm colors!

Anyway, tnx z00md for leaving a comment and sharing your Idea
Happy Coding :)
