What Is Dark Mode?
Dark Mode inverts your computer’s system colors. It reduces the strain on your eyes when you’re working at your desk during the evenings, because the colors effectively match up with the darkness or low levels of light you’re surrounded by. It’s also known to help users with visual impairments or that suffer from migraines or other visual disorders. Dark Mode doesn’t just help you either. It helps your laptop, too, as it reduces strain on the laptop’s battery life. Notice how turning down the brightness conserves battery? It’s the same with dark mode. It uses less energy than brightness, thereby saving you battery time. This can be useful if you’re running low on battery, or you simply want to conserve the battery. Many major apps offer dark modes now, like the Slack dark theme, and operating systems are also slowly embracing the concept thanks to there being so many benefits to it.
