Someone a few pages back said that Word 2013 does not allow us to change themes.this is not true at all. On my laptop, I can make adjustments if I must. They let you change the size of text too.which would help with strain.Īnd let's not mistake s the apps that need this the most. eReaders have to option of white, cream, green or black backgrounds. Really, eReader options are exactly what Evernote needs. Google Play Book reader has a nighttime option now that has black background with an orange-like text. Those of us who get migraines want things as dark as possible. the people who claim most are not requesting a "black theme" are not entirely correct. The one size text is an issue as well, but would be tolerable if we could invert the screen.Īndroid 5 allows full inversion now, so that's a plus, but bulky to invert everything thru system settings on the android. By having a black screen with white text, the glare is greatly reduced, allowing us to write for longer periods.Īs an author, I spend many, many hours using a screen. The leading cause of migraine pain is glare.so any light source can lead to it. Staring into a light all day is unhealthy for the eyes, but there are more reasons than that. Can you imagine if the world used black paper with white pen? Ewe Not trying to start a flame war - just wondering what the perceived advantages of going dark are? Reader apps, stock apps etc.doesn't matter.īlack backgrounds make my eyes go wonky. Whenever there is an option to go "dark", I turn it off. NOTE ADDED: I add it to the quick menu on the task bar so I can get to it easily. Using Evernote less and less as a result. While outside of writing programs it can be strange, inside word it works perfectly. You may have to fiddle with the Magnifier options to get it right. If you are using Microsoft Word in a WINDOWS environment, you can use the magnifier in System Tools to invert colors. PLEASE PLEASE, Evernote, give us back the ability to colorize the backgroumd in ENML. Hence, the pain and stress when software products go all white. Our greater magnification means more and more light (brightness, intensity) is hitting our eyes. As you know, a magnifying glass can be used to burn ants by finding the focal point using the sun's rays. THe more far-sighted, the more magnification. And here's the reason - people who are far-sighted have magnification in their lenses. It's really hard on the eyes of some of us. I can't use Office 2013 either for the same reason - and now EVernote has taken away the ability to colorize background of notes. IntelliJ Idea, Microsoft Visual Studio (the latter by default) etc. I'm a software dev, and IDEs - code editors - typically do offer a dark theme, because that's the type of software you are using for hours straight, and eye strain is likely to kick in. I don't use Medium, perhaps there are dark theme requests on their user forum too, for all I know.Īssuming that one is missing a ngiht theme in other apps, does it somehow invalidate such a request for Evernote? Google Drive isn't a service one would be likely to use for prolonged periods of time. This forum is brighter than the Evernote app, as well as the plethora of full-white websites (Feedly, Medium, Google Drive, etc.) I have a very hard time believing you have no issues with other apps and only have this problem with Evernote. It makes no sense to darken EVERYTHING just to make one application more pleasant to use. ![]() I have a color and brightness calibrated monitor, and EN is the only one that gives me this problem. In fact, the latest iterations of Android and Windows 10 are heading back in that direction - and iOS 8.x too, to some extent. I am hoping that we're going to see a "whiplash" effect to compensate, using a little more color and hopefully finding a middle ground before "old" and "new". ![]() using almost non-descript icons with little in the way of colors, shapes, or shading, little to no contrast, and passes itself as "flat" and "modern", all the while it just makes things harder to read and locate at a glance.Ī few examples: recent Gmail, iOS 7/8 vs. That is, it's fake pretentious hipster-y b.s. Personally, I've taken to calling this fad "non-design", and it's currently being followed by the holy trifecta of Apple, Google, and Microsoft (to name a few). We went over this a few posts back in the thread. Preamble: this rant below is not directed at Evernote or any single company in specific, it's a general thing. Isn't the first requirement of any UI to clearly communicate with the user?
