We already know how that your device's default appearance is dark mode but...
Our site will default to light mode because we're elitist and we hate your guts.

#DarkMode problems.

#Willhaben hat jetzt einen #DarkMode

Nice

I don't know what it is, but in the past few years I've gone the reverse of everything dark mode to everything light mode or full color mode.

I finally did it for #discord and it looks so strange to me. It looks almost not modern if that makes sense.
What do you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode?
#darkmode #lightmode

If you haven’t set up dark mode for your site(s) yet, I’ll toot the horn and say this still gives you a fast leg up:

Alvin Ailey is so beautiful dance at @sudoroom Hackerspace #darkmode in Oakland

Things that were obvious design mistakes from #Apple:
- #TouchBar (not the technology, but the implementation)
- Removing #MagSafe (people like the convenience of not killing their laptop over tripping cables)
- Re-adding MagSafe (without actually addressing the problem that you need a whole new cable to just deliver power)
- Square alignment of arrow keys (does this even need a comment?)
- Removing the escape key (it's not just nerds)
- #TouchID button that can't visually tell you that it wants your attention (believe it or not, but some people have no effing clue what to do when the TouchID popup pops up)
- The contrast of #DarkMode on #OSX calendars (eternal shit show of trying to read purple text on a slightly darker purple background)
- Everything related to #EmojiPicker (the way it's been buggy for years, the slowness, the non functional fuzzy search, the 3! distinct and horrible ways it works, ...)
- #iMessage as a whole (anyone who is a tiny bit critical can't stand this piece of UX hell)

#Coding Q: Anyone implemented a nice three-state dark mode toggle?

Love to hear your tips, ideas and even links to examples/code are welcome.

This feature is more involved that first look as this HN post unpacks..

My current wishlist:

- Three states (system/light/dark)
- Preference stored for next time
- Two icons light/darl (click selected icon a second time to 'turn it off' and return to system)
- vanilla js
- leans into css

This implementation comes pretty close.

This post points to a bunch of great three-state dark mode articles in its references.

My eyes need that “OLED” display setting for @ivory on macOS too.

Loving the new #Darkmode of @thunderbird for #Emails. Pleasant on the eyes in the evening^^

A dark theme? Our colleague Fran Rouco discuss its benefits in our last published articles: "How dark mode enhances usability, accessibility, and energy efficiency "
