drealmer7: I just changed my color scheme from "dark" to "light" to see what it was like and OUCH! My eyes!!! Does anyone use the light color scheme?

Okay I'm REALLY going to try and sleep now...
Never: only black screen and green symbols ;)

Well, I've been using light and just tried to switch to dark and it looks odd.
Apparently if you go black you can go back afterall.

With how many people "can't use the light theme without sunglasses" if these threads are anywhere near statistically correct, I imagine about 65% of GOG users have their screen brightness turned up to 23. On a 0-5 scale. So that even #000000 looks like a light grey (there should not be more than about a handful of white pixels on any given forum page with the light theme, and common office paper under normal lighting should be lighter than the light theme of GOG - unless, again, your screen brightness is insanely fucked up).

drealmer7: For those who are conscious use this instead of google.com:

BLACKLE.com

it uses the same search engine
Once you try black you'll never go back? :P

Wishbone: Hehe, threads like this pop up every once in a while. There's actually a surprising number of people using the light theme. I don't personally understand it (I can't look at the light theme without sunglasses), but it does seem to be the case.
The trick is to have the correct brightness and contrast settings on your monitor...

Use monitor test to calibrate your monitor.
Anyway i use the dark scheme.

I certainly use the dark scheme myself, but if you do a little digging, it won't actually save much energy if you're not using a CRT monitor. Which I'm not.

I just find it more aesthetically pleasing to use the dark scheme.

Is there a utility to allow you to set the brightness of your monitor to what is considered "appropriate"? The one problem I've found is that some games want you to adjust your brightness to see something 'barely visible', then you end up stuck with that after the game. I tend to think that the game itself could be at fault in that instance and being able to restore brightness (or even contrast) to an appropriate level would be something really cool as a utility.

There are apps that dynamically adjust your screen brightness and color temperature depending on the changing conditions in the environment by utilising your webcam.

f.lux is probably best known and it's available for Mac OS, Windows, Linux and iPhone/iPad.

Redshift is inspired by f.lux and also cross-platform.

Another similar albeit Linux-exclusive project is <span class="bold">Yawls</span>.
