Just wondering which theme everyone prefers the most; Light or Dark?

The results may help me decide which theme to make as the default.

At the moment the Light theme is the default so most people will be using that one and many may not even be aware that there is now a Dark Mode of Demonland.

To switch to the Dark Mode (or back to the Light Mode) navigate to the bottom of the page. Towards the left hand side there is an icon of a Crescent Moon. Click that to switch to Dark Mode. Click the Light Bulb next to it to switch back to Light Mode.

So which one do you prefer?

I thought this was another thread about measuring Demonlanders’ collective psyche. Disappointing.

Can’t say as I haven’t worked out how to change it from light.

If on your phone, scroll to the bottom - the icons highlighted below switch the mode.

dark has better readability

Dark mode seems highly appropriate currently

How about Red Mode in a few weeks if we keep losing by 10 goals?

Darkness is all appropriate for the Dees long suffering collective at the present time.

I’ve just switched to dark, I like it!

i'd probably like dark mode more if the blue of the 'body' matched the blue of the left hand nav background to create a seamless view

Not sure but dark mode might be better for battery life.

Hello dark mode my old friend

Are you referring to this part?

I find dark background more relaxing on the eyes and probably improves battery life a bit

To be brutally honest I wasn't mad on the new format. I'm probably not mad on change in general.

Until I switched to dark mode. It's great.

This intrigued me but I've found conflicting theories.

Interesting post. I just thought my iphone battery lasted longer when its screen was less bright. ?

When I first saw the Poll Name I suspected it was regarding how we see our demonic future !!

Don't set a default, just let people choose. That way everyone's happy.

I need to choose a default theme for the site that is presented to visitors.

Currently, it's set to Light, allowing users the option to switch to Dark Mode if they prefer. Alternatively, I can set the default to the Navy Dark Theme, with the option for users to switch back to Light.

Either way, users will always have the flexibility to pick their preferred theme. I'm simply looking for some guidance on what the default should be, as many users aren't aware they have the option to switch and usually stick with what's presented initially. This poll is designed to help me gauge member preferences and make an informed decision on what should be the best look and feel of Demonland to visitors to the site.

Loved dark as soon as I switched to it. It's the navy blue with red user names and white text. It's the Guernsey colours and different to all the other websites I visit.

I'm surprised that there are so many picking the light theme in the poll.

Thank you and dark i go

I'm usually dark mode all the way, but for some reason I prefer light mode for this site. I find the topics list clearer that way. Maybe I need more time to adjust.
