Windows 10: A Dark Theme in Windows 10? Some Say Yes

More

 

Great idea if it's implemented properly and works properly!
Once in a while I'll switch to 'Night Mode' in Maxthon Browser just for some 'eyeball relief', but, it makes things 'laggy' and some elements don't render properly, but that's just in the browser, of course.
Interesting notion nonetheless. Thanks for that! *Smile

need a info about saving battery life

dark themes does use less battery yes.

 

No Dark Theme Available

Yes I did.

It's not there or in advanced.

 

The way I see it is it is a dark theme all the way. . .all the time. . .*Thumbs

 

Wouldn't a gray theme be better? Just my opinion. A lot of people have eye issues that includes me.

Edwin,
Does Firefox have a add-on that will do a Night mode?

 

I think there's a couple, maybe three.
I added one to Firefox ages ago and it was pretty lame for rendering various elements in web pages.
The Night mode in Maxthon is the best I've seen.

 

My primary OS is OS X. . .been using a Mac as my primary computer for almost thirty years now, so gray is not on the top of my list for OS GUI colors, and white gives me a headache. The dark themes seem to be what is best for me at the present time. . .*Smile

 

I find a dark theme much harder on my eyes.

Just tried it again, to see. Things seem to 'flash' when my screen is dark and my text is light...

 

YES!!!!!!

I have a high contrast theme for Night Mode, where it's all black background and red accenting, it looks quite nice and visually less straining at night.

The whole white background is so long in the tooth now, it's been done for decades. Black backgrounds, I think on certain screen technologies, actually benefits as they run slightly cooler as they use a smidge less power. This is why Windows Phone by default has a black background as some power efficiency studies were done by Microsoft some time ago that showed power consumption in apps with a dark theme and a bright theme. Obviously the dark theme used less power.

With the newer metro UI design they're going for and what has been leaked, it seems like they're going for dark themed apps but still have a white as sunlight File Explorer...

 

Always a dark theme whenever possible. Always.

 

Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, has the best dark theme that I absolutely love! IMO.
I hope they will offer the same one for Windows 10, like they do the dark theme for the new upcoming MS Office 16.
