For anyone who likes Dark Mode, how do you find the readability compared to Light Mode?

I'm trying Dark Mode everywhere for the first time, and I really like the aesthetics. However, I find that the text can be a bit blurry in some cases, depending on the app. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Nothing comes to mind. Do you have any specific app examples you can recall?

I do occasionally have some issues with text and Invert Colors. I mostly recall experiencing the trouble on Web sites, where dark text — I’m wondering but never checked if the text may not be (default) black — doesn’t invert. Therefore, you end up with dark gray text on black or otherwise dark backgrounds.

For example, the text looks sharper on Discord in dark mode, especially compared to some websites like this one when using Vivaldi.

Not experiencing any blurry text. Only problem sometimes is the colors of text in some emails which make the text hard to read. And some emails don't appear in dark mode. No issues with apps.

I think it might just be a matter of getting used to it. After using dark mode for a bit, I can see a small difference, so maybe I just need to adjust to it.

Dark Mode is tough for some people. Personally I loathe it but more power to people that like it.

Dark Mode Isn’t ‘Easier on the Eyes’ for Everybody

Apple’s new dark mode for iOS 13 can save battery life, but it won’t save everyone's eyes from screen strain.

No doubt.

I have an eye condition that causes me to be far more sensitive to light than most people. And, indeed, I don’t just mean displays or blue light eye strain. Although, I admit, I like it aesthetically as well.

I only lasted a few days on dark mode. Now I am back to using light mode for everything, except the code editor and the terminal. Everything else is in light mode again. I just find text more readable this way. Also, not all apps work well with dark mode. For example, some emails in the Mail app have a white background. Sometimes you can fix it with a menu item, but I can't remember which one. Often it doesn’t work, and it depends on the actual email.
