What is Dark Mode?
Dark mode is a display theme that changes the background of a screen from a bright, white background to a darker color, typically black or dark gray, with light-colored text. This inversion of the traditional theme can reduce eye strain, particularly in low-light environments. Dark mode also helps extend battery life on devices with OLED screens and may improve sleep by reducing blue light exposure, which is known to disrupt circadian rhythms.
