Do you use a Dark theme extension (Such as Dark Reader) for iNaturalist? If so, why? if not, again, why?

For me, personally, I use the Dark Reader extension since I identify at random points in the night and I dont want my eyes to fall out!

I don’t because I wasn’t aware of it. But I will definitely look into it because I like using dark mode in general on my smartphone – especially out in the field where it can give battery savings of between 5% and 45% depending on screen brightness and certain other factors.

No. It drains my sanity meter (always reminds me of depression, gloom, etc.)

No. Someone once called it migraine city. Reading pale or bright letters against a dark background, is even worse than mid-grey on pale grey.

I am on iNat in the evening till early. Then I set my laptop to nightlight (not so BLUE) and the brightness to 50%. At first the photo colours are off, then my eyes adjust.

But someone with macular generation said neon letters on dark is what he can see.

I don’t want to read white text on a dark background. Pretty much everyone I know uses dark mode on everything but it hurts my eyes.

No, because it requires a browser extension. I don’t normally mess around with those.

Same way I read print books and magazines. I don’t think I have ever come across one of those in dark mode.

Just out of curiousity, why not?

Mainly because I don’t understand them well enough.

70% of users voted no, 29% voted yes. I personally thought that there would be more who said yes!

(/edit/ I changed my vote to no)

Oh, I voted yes, but I misread the question as dark mode on the forums, which I do use.
I do not use dark mode in the iNaturalist app or on the website.

I just removed this extension because I found out today that my computer actually has dark mode built into it.

I use it on everywhere, I love it, each page is a different type of contrast
