It is not about what you like

It is about what feels better on the eyes

Dark theme, and at night you want to reduce eyestrain by reducing the blue light

This dark theme is full of blueish tone, wich goes against the need of dark theme



'feel' and 'like' are pretty much in the same boat here, I think. I mean is the person you're responding to really going to claim to like something which doesn't feel good (esp. since it's about themes, and the OLED mention)?


Of course I like "pure black dark mode" because it feels best on my eyes. I have tried many themes to confirm that.

We can discuss the blue light aspect in its own merit.


The same thing does not feel best on everyone's eyes. I like black dark themes and they feel better because they are higher-contrast and thus are easier to read. For me (and probably for others), they reduce eye strain.
