<\/a><\/p>\nYou can activate it on Windows 10 by going to Settings \u2013 Personalization \u2013 Colors and picking Dark. Most phones also offer the same option under their \u2018display\u2019 settings.<\/p>\n

So, why use Dark Mode?<\/h2>\n
Dark mode saves energy consumption on some of your devices, simply because the alternative (Light mode) has to turn on every background pixel, which uses more power. Note that it is reported to be more effective on OLED screens than LCD.<\/p>\n
Various studies suggest it reduces eye strain, not least by cutting out blue light. Blue light is a high-frequency colour in the \u201cvisible light spectrum\u201d that can be seen by the human eye, and its understood to cause eye strain. If you turn your devices to \u2018night light\u2019 ever, this adds a blue light filter to ease the work for your tired eyes, especially at night.<\/p>\n

However, we can tell you that its not for everyone or every situation<\/h2>\n
Dark mode can make it harder to read screens in a brightly lit room. The conclusion is \u2013 test it and see what works best for you. Personally, I find \u2018light\u2019 mode more comfortable so I\u2019m switching back.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With all our warnings about cyber-hackers, you\u2019d be forgiven for thinking this was another hazard.

There is an argument that human eyes naturally prefer black text on a white screen, and it is less productive to reverse these, especially for people with \u2018astigmatism\u2019<\/p>\nReferences:<\/h2>\n
