Saves your battery. Easy on eyes. Dark theme is just nicer, what am I missing?

    I get the impression that the preference for dark mode tends to be more common in Millennial/Gen-Z men.

    As an older Gen-X, I cannot stand having dark mode on during the day or light mode at night. I use auto whenever it is available. I don’t know why!

    My daughter and her female friends do not have dark mode during the day. My younger coworkers often have dark mode at work, but only the male ones.

    I’m curious about those who use dark mode all the time: were you born after 1980 and male?

      1995/m here and I exclusively use dark mode. Preferably white text on a black background (sometimes called LED dark mode). I’m not sure if your generation + gender theory holds but I will say that the games and software I played growing up used a combination of dark and light for UI and menus.

        Interesting point, maybe people with more gaming growing up prefer the dark mode. Much of the gaming era came around after my time!
