How I like dark mode: everywhere!

So I configure light mode (black text, white background) everywhere, then I use NegativeScreen for Windows to invert colors.

Bonus: you can also setup a transformation matrix to convert all brightness to red, giving you a red-on-black mode for use at night.

This is the only reliable way I know to get a perfect dark mode everywhere (in outlook, terminal, notepad...) as many apps don't support dark mode or have some half-assed support, but all of them have light mode now that the start menu also has light colors support

(One exception on android: samsung browser get special mention for its dark-mode that applies to all pictures)



What about seeing normal images and videos?


If I'm watching during the day, I press on a key to toggle NegativeScreen on or off.

If I'm watching night, I'd rather have a good night of sleep than a colour-correct video. I don't care much about colour accuracy.

If you care try the Samsung browser for android. They seem to care about such things.
