I prefer medium colored themes. They work both for low and hig brightness ambients

Depends on the forum but I usually prefer white because when I check some other site after reading text on black background, my eyes need some time to adjust again as I'd see colored spots on the screen.

I do not like very bright colors or too dark something that becomes attractive to our vision! Maybe medium Brights

[Maracuja]

dark theme seems more pro

[gigamaster]

I prefer dark theme...i can see clearly the fonts and icons easily..

[skoriginal]

Bright theme .. I think it's better for my eyes, sometimes I use the dark one at night

[fabiof00]

I prefer bright, darker makes my eyes buuuuuh.

From the days of old, I would associate black themes as underground websites, mostly talking about software and media downloads then the bright ones are usually fan forums. I like both, but it is the ease of navigating the forum I am more fond of.

It's interesting that you say that. My husband is the same way. He feels like dark sites are off, like maybe they aren't as reputable or something. It's probably a days of old thing for him as well. I don't know.

I do still think it matters what type of site it is, too, whether or not a dark theme can work.

Bright...

I also think that clean and simple websites are always better.

[pedrovigario]

dark... don't tire so much my eyes...

[jannie]

I will go with the darker one because it is easier on my eyes than the bright one.

Someone already had a problem with vista by staying long in front of the pc? Mainly reading?

[Lodika]

[Coinlv]

I prefer the bright one.

[warrenfakers]

i will choose dark theme, i dont know the reasons why i like dark. i dont like light themes because my eyes have problem when i saw light colors.

[sami]

Which one do you prefer to use and which do you use on your forum?.

I like both, A bright theme for outside and a dark one for low light situations.

I like dark theme for my forum it is nice and silent
also bright I may use it but not more than dark themes

[bujingkujing]

i think dark is a bit not nice to the eyes. it contrasts with the brightness of the pc. i think something with a light shade of red or pinkish is good for the eyes

[dannixx55]

I like dark themes, Bright themes affect my eyes, I usually feel so uncomfortable viewing bright things, that's why I would prefer the dark theme.

It actually depends where you are using it. For gamer websites, dark theme mainly fits.

Unfortunately it has been proved that new users leave websites with dark theme faster than bright theme but it depends on the theme f.ex do not use the darkest black as background and the brightest white as font color.

I like both bright and dark theme. It looks elegant when your words are with a light color.
