I always have dark mode active, but I usually build software to detect the system's selected mode.

I almost always prefer light mode.

You are missing an option "based on the time of the day". This is my current setup ;) I conducted also similar research to make a pick for our product and the results were actually 50/50, although I always thought Dark mode wins.

@elizabeth_tischencko So at night you go dark? I have never seen Light Mode win, so I wonder why companies don't set dark mode by default.

Depends. Productivity/coding/others, I go Dark mode, but social, always Light mode :D (and adjusted screen light for time of the day)

@nuno_ms_reis Why is that for social? mmm

@profy17 I do not know, to be honest. I feel the Light one gives me a better mood, I've tried LinkedIn in dark mode for example and it felt extremely lifeless and I felt less like engaging. It may actually be good to stop using socials xD but right now social is part of my job with my startup, so that may be hard eheh

Definitely in the minority here lol i love light mode
Honestly, I can't decide between Dark Mode and Light Mode. It's like choosing between coffee and tea - both have their own perks πŸ˜‰ So for me both!
