Elon Musk says Twitter will quickly solely provide darkish mode as a result of it’s ‘higher in each manner’

Just if you assume Elon Musk can’t get any extra divisive, he’s weighed in on the sunshine mode versus darkish mode debate — and Twitter, presently present process a rebranding to X, is outwardly going all in on the latter. Early this morning, Musk posted that “this platform will quickly solely have ‘darkish mode’. It is best in each manner.”

That instantly introduced concerning the ordinary responses that you just would possibly anticipate, with a number of folks making the case that gentle textual content on black will be more durable to learn. Many are asking Twitter to protect a lightweight mode possibility even when it switches to darkish mode because the default for X’s new design id.

As somebody whose cellphone solely enters darkish mode within the rarest of circumstances, that looks like the proper path to me. All these apps that dynamically regulate to gentle or darkish based mostly in your present OS setting? This is the best way. But I do know some sturdy proponents of full-time darkish mode, and that appears to be the course Musk is leaning.

Twitter presently affords just a few completely different background choices based mostly on a person’s particular person choice: there’s gentle mode, a “dim” setting with a darkish blue / grey background, and “lights out” that’s full-on black.
