Screenshot 2024-03-31 default "light" but why?
Same situation for Windows builds. Application Colors - the 'Automatic' scheme defaults to the Light color theme by default. Setting 'System Theme' might be more appealing (though it is by default a dark document canvas which may be a little jarring for folks). Setting Automatic -> 'Light' as current is safe and comfortable, and it is trivial for users to select 'Dark' But Automatic -> 'System Theme' might be more in line with os/DE norms? (In reply to steve from comment #0) > The reason users go for dark mode is often because they prefer a dark work environment. The UI should be dark but not the document background. At least you have no proof, neither I do. We could run a poll.... https://fosstodon.org/@libodesign/112201034714884916 Out of 628 responses 77% wants the default to be changed. So let's do it and accomain the change with some easy to reach switch as requested in bug 160349. |
