I hope lutris ends up finding a new default on wine 10 somewhere in there. wine ge 8-26 starting to get long in the tooth for certain bleeding edge non-steam uses. was dismayed that latest proton isn’t an option for installer manifests on 5.18
Use dark theme by default?
Wow, how ableist, a lot of people cannot see with dark themes well due to no fault of their own and they’re expected to change it when that will be difficult because they cannot see anything suddenly? Sigh.
Why not just let people choose what they want at startup or keep people’s choices based on what they had before or the system theme?
Software devs need to seriously start consulting people about their needs and not just making choices for them.
Wow, how ableist
How so? There has to be a default, and with many applications it’s white rather than black. Personally, I like the dark themes that some applications now offer as it doesn’t offend my ageing eyes so much.
Because if there wasn’t anything to complain about many people would lose their identity.
🙄
Or you know, people are knowledgeable about such things, genuinely care and want to reduce harm.
[Sarcasm] But no, it’s all down to some imagined ‘identity’ people are going to lose based on arguing for more care and a little bit of awareness.
What about the people that can’t move their hands properly and it would be hard to select stuff on a new menu on startup? What about the people that can see better on dark themes? It’s ableist for you to suggest a menu or light theme as the default!
The thing is that defaults will never accomodate everyone. The only possible thing you can do is provide options. Just because you have a “solution” that is better for you, does not mean that that is better for everyone. All you’re doing is trying to make something perfect for you, which is selfish, and not an improvement.
You’re assuming a lot. This isn’t actually about me I prefer dark themes too a lot of the time. I just know people who have that particular need and so I’d forgo some initial discomfort if it made things easier for them.
Also, nice whataboutism there, but to answer your question, yes things in general should be as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. I get that it might not ever be perfect, but your inane points seek to hold us back instead of considering others and their accessibility needs which software and computer based technology is severely lacking, especially in spaces like open source.
👍
Thank you for asking!
One that I know about (though I am sure there are others) is that many people have an astigmatism in their eyes and so it is very difficult to see anything in dark conditions as the light blurs across their vision when put on a black/dark background (this has other effects like making it awful to drive at night, for example).
The correct solution is to not have any theme as a default, either base it on what folks already have it set at a system level or ask on startup.
I am sorry to hear about your eyes. However, hopefully either of the solutions can be implimented instead of developers making a choice or impliment both a light theme and dark theme, with imo light being the default being the currently ‘best’ option, can be implimented with the option to change it in apps that don’t follow system theming nor ask, so hopefully the most amount of people can see it well enough to change it.
