Playing around with re-doing my website in Grav. Questions is, do I code a light theme, or dark?

@kev I always thought your light theming was very pleasant to look at.

@kev Don't know why but while I like dark themes for applications, when it comes to reading articles, I prefer a white background.I recently even switched my code editor to a light theme for a while. It makes it a lot easier to work and read outside :)

@kev It should switch according the time of the day. Can you add a JavaScript which loads CSS according to client's system time?

@murtezayesil yeah, I could do that, but if I were to go to the trouble of doing so, I'd probably just place a rocker switch on the site, rather than forcing visitors to have one theme or the other.

@kev @murtezayesil a switch with the daytime used for the default setting? 🤔

@kev honestly, unless you are in a dark place, a light theme is more comfortable, to me at least.

@kevI thought I read about a web standard that covered just this. That way your site can let the client choose depending on their preference! No idea where it's at.

@kev Ah, it's part of CSS called prefers-color-scheme. Pretty neat feature, but not universally supported, although that might change since IE/Edge will be (is?) based on chromium.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme
