I am no authority on dark theme because I am using my blue theme full time and I have addressed any colour issues I had.
Retina detachment, wow that is serious ! I hope you doing better :( Well I have myopia in both eyes, my left is 6 degrees which is pretty high. We myopics suppose to not see very well in the dark but my visual perception is great in dark environments even in almost complete darkness. Its weird because as I young boy I was non stop out in the sun and I live in Greece, here the Sun is very bright, yet it always hurt my eyes. Not much as knife pain, but more like feeling pressure on the eye. Of course I am not the only Greek in love with his sun glasses during summer. My eye doctor said it was because of my eyes being light color compared to the usual dark coloured eyes Greeks have. But I think the reason most likely is more mysterious :D On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 2:05 PM p...@highoctane.be <p...@highoctane.be> wrote: > On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 12:10 AM, Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.al...@gmail.com > > wrote: > >> Also most don't know this but light themes of Pharo were in part hard >> coded.
