Dr. Nathan Parker Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Do you run Accordance in Light Mode or Dark Mode, and if so, why? If you also use a particular color theme in Accordance, which one do you use and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Light mode since it is easier to see. Canyon since it is the least distracting. I found several of the other themes very pretty, but Canyon makes it easier to concentrate on my work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Pang Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I prefer light mode because it is easier on the eyes, in my opinion. As far as theme, I used Spanish Moss (I think that is what it is called). I find it aesthetically pleasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Smith Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I often spend double digit hours on screens each day. Dark mode is MUCH easier on my eyes over a long period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Fidel Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I have tried dark mode, but greatly still prefer light. Not a theme guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Canyon and light mode are my preferred combination. Dark mode reminds me of those days with black background and green ASCII characters on terminals of my past—oh my! —Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Atnip Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Light mode, although most of my other software I run in dark. The icons are weird in Accordance dark mode, and for reasons I cannot explain, it is harder for me to use than light mode. Maybe a good designer could do whatever tweaks it would take to get the tones right; it just feels odd to me for some reason. So I run light mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accord Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Customized Tuscany or Canyon in light mode. I don't care for the dark mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopold Green Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 light mode - spanish moss - dark mode and accordance don't do it for me - I would love a couple of extra themes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hall Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I use Canyon (with slight modification) during the day, and after sunset use dark (again with slight moderation). I have my fonts set to gray both day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgvh Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 On Win 11: Dark mode makes it hard to see some things. I usually use Canyon Theme. But I do also customize my text displays for various versions to darken them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accordance often seems darker than other macOS dark mode apps. Better than Logos' dark mode though, which is a weird bluish hue. Edited April 23 by A.

Sean Nelson Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Always light mode. On every app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Thanks! I've alternated between the two. For Accordance itself, Light Mode is pretty good (although so is Dark Mode, especially on the Mac app). The rest of the Mac UI I prefer Dark mode as Light Mode on newer macOS releases is too light. On Windows, Light Mode still seems to be a decent shade. Honestly, I prefer the color scheme of Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard, or Snow Leopard plus iOS 6 or before. It was a good balance between light and dark, and I never remembered complaining of eye strain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacMan Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Light mode is easier for me to see. I am currently running Azure with modified fonts, which is new to me. Previously I used Canyon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 At the moment, I'm trying Dark Mode on Mac, Light Mode on Windows. Might keep running with it for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cweber Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I use Dark Mode for as many applications as I can due to the length of time each day on a computer, it helps avoid the brightness burning holes in my retinas However, I have not yet updated and tried Dark Mode (been too busy). Below is a link to an old post of mine showing what colour schemes i currently use to alleviate eye strain and why, if it helps others. a link to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tswope Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I work in a dark office with a desk lamp (on purpose). The darkness helps me focus, and dark mode prevents me from being blinded by my screen. When I'm working in a bright room, I prefer light mode because it corresponds to the ambient lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Patterson Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 MacOS: Dark Mode Text color (for Texts and Tools) adjusted to #b1b1b1 (light grey). This is easier on my eyes. Search results adjusted to my system color schema. Windows: Light Mode (Win. Acc. dark mode is still garbage 😅) Accordance in Spanish Moss Texts in Slate theme Tools in Vintage theme iOS: Dark Mode No adjustments made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
