    Dark mode

    Because of low vision I have to use Dark Mode to view all text. White text on a

    black background is the only format I can use on my PC, iPhone & iPad. Currently

    I am using a Windows 7 desktop in High Contrast Black. This lets me view emails, Word docs

    and Excel in “Dark Mode”. However, to print a normal (black text on white) page I

    have to change to High Contrast White.

    From my IOS 13.6 iPhone/iPad’s Dark Mode I can print a normal page without

    leaving Dark Mode. I want to change to a Windows 10 desktop with the same Dark

    Mode print capabilities as I have on my iPhoe/iPad. Unfortunately, many Apps are

    not Dark Mode friendly forcing frequent toggles to “Invert Colors” If Word/Excel are

    not Built-in Windows 10 Apps will I have the same Dark Mode print issues I have in

    Windows 7? Thanks.

    What's the fascination with dark mode?

    In Visual Studio 2019 the theme choices are:
    • Blue
    • Light
    • Dark
    • Blue (Extra Contrast)
    I tried the Dark theme in Visual Studio. Your right about focusing on the text. That's not the problem. When in Dark mode the text is blurry to me so if I don't focus on it I will probably get a headache. I much prefer the Blue theme where reading the text is less stressful. In Office 2019 the theme choices are:
    • Colorful (default)
    • Dark Gray
    • Black
    • White
    • Use system setting
    I find the default theme of Colorful best for me.

    Dark Mode

    I have low vision and can only view PC and iPhone screens in Dark Mode.

    While in Windows 10 Dark Mode can I print a normal-looking document

    i.e. black text on white background directly from Dark Mode? I can do

    this from my iPhone and iPad. Currently, I use a Windows 7 PC using

    High Contrast Black.and have to change to a White background to print a

    normal-looking document.

    Thanks.
