I keep my editor, terminal, and most apps in dark mode. It's not just aesthetics.
Less eye strain – Especially in low light, a dark background feels easier on the eyes after long sessions.
Focus – The content stands out. UI chrome fades back, and you're left with what you're actually working on.
Battery – On OLED screens, dark pixels use less power. Every little bit helps on a laptop.
If you haven't tried it, flip the switch and use it for a week. You might not switch back.
