Over the past few days I have noticed that a lot of web pages have added the option of a dark theme, I suppose this is summat to do with reducing screen glare whilst we work from home.

Do "Da Management" and the rest of us think that this should be a frorum option?

(If I'm being a dunce and it here already could somebody please point it out to me!)

I recommend dowloading f-lux to change the screen colour etc according to preferences. Window10 actually has this feature built in. Look under display settings.

I had a look at the 'Night Light' option in Windows 10 and I considered it so red and so dark as to be unusable, and my monitor is too bright above 40%. My problem is that if accurate colour judgment needs to be made (like outputting images or print documents), using a calibrated monitor and/or printer is essential. If the monitor's colour balance is changing in real-time (as that seems to be what f-lux is offering), whilst maybe great for general reading it would be a nightmare for reliable proofing and output. Unless I'm missing something important?

The only reason I use it is to stop migraines and eyestrain. It works fine in that regard. I have the screen permanently on dusk setting - you can make the settings stay the same 24 hours a day.

Is this an April Fool wind-up?

If not, then I suggest we all go back to Oldham lamps instead of Fellow's bat cookers and everything will seem much darker....

Go back to Oldhams?
I've only recently upgraded to one!

We inhabit an island made of coal, surrounded by a sea full of fish. How can we go wrong.......
