| Dec 12, 2012 at 11:07 | comment | added | Danny Varod | @MarjanVenema Then try using them intentionally for a few hours each and then see what you think. Make sure that the contrast isn't too high though (e.g. light grey on black or white on dark grey, not white on black). | |
| Dec 11, 2012 at 19:46 | comment | added | Marjan Venema | @DannyVarod: not my experience, but it may be due to technology improvements that have passed me by as I have learned to avoid dark backgrounds. | |
| Dec 11, 2012 at 19:11 | comment | added | Danny Varod | @MarjanVenema Actually, on darker background the font seems bolder and the spacing smaller. Also, there are no up to date (with current screen tech) or even older yet well-preformed researches on lengthened reading with light vs dark backgrounds. | |

| Dec 11, 2012 at 9:28 | comment | added | Marjan Venema | Darker backgrounds actually make reading a lot harder. It may be different for mono spaced code as that really does not read as text, but as, well... code. I tend to avoid websites with a dark background because the font tends not to have been adjusted. On darker backgrounds text seems to sink into it and one should use a larger font or a font with with thicker strokes to compensate. Most importantly: the preference for a light or dark background is very personal! So cater to that by allowing both. | |

| Dec 11, 2012 at 8:48 | comment | added | AndroidHustle | Remember to think about how you distribute white space. It can't be stressed enough. Even though features of your application could probably be grouped together in the same view, because they pretty much correlate, remember to still weigh this against how crowded the view will be. Maybe the user would benefit if these features were divided into different views rather than crammed into one. Then the views would be easier to find from correct taxonomy and labeling and also each individual view would be easier to scan. This is very abstract, I know, but this subject is big... | |
