Are you looking to use GeekWire with dark mode? Do you love using GeekWire but hate the white background?
Today we will show you how to enable dark mode on GeekWire. We will also tell you why it is a great idea to use the Night Eye browser extension on any major browser to protect your eyes.
What is Dark Mode?
Dark Mode is a light-on-dark color scheme. It is often referred to as black mode, dark theme, or night mode. It is simply a color mode that uses light-colored texts and icons on a dark background. The dark background is often black or a dark charcoal color in most instances.
Dark Mode is used today on many platforms, websites, and applications. It is one of the most requested software features for most software available today. It has many benefits which we will go over in a bit..
Benefits of Dark Mode
Dark mode comes with a lot of benefits that you might not know about. We will go over some of the larger pros of using Dark Mode below:
- It saves energy on computer screens or smartphones that use OLED or AMOLED screens. This is because these screens can literally turn off all the pixels that should be blacked out. This means very little energy is needed to use the device when in dark mode.
- Dark text on white background is often better or easier to read. However, Dark Mode is better for your eyes. This is because it reduces eye strain drastically. Especially in low light conditions. Without Dark Mode, a lot of screen use can be physically and mentally draining. Using Dark Mode can also stop your eyes from becoming sore too quickly.
- Dark Mode minimizes the amount of blue light that is emitted from most screens. Blue light can slow the secretion of melatonin which is an important hormone for getting proper sleep. Though it is not a major worry for most, some people have noticed this benefit from switching to Dark Mode.
