dark mode, different applicatin in laptop
good for eye, dark mode or normal?
ChatGPT said:
That’s a really good question ๐
The answer depends on your environment, screen type, and personal comfort:
✅ Dark Mode (Good for…)
-
Low light / Night time → reduces glare, less strain in dark rooms.
-
OLED / AMOLED screens → saves battery because dark pixels use less power.
-
People sensitive to bright light → can reduce discomfort.
✅ Light Mode (Good for…)
-
Daytime / Bright environments → easier to read in sunlight or well-lit rooms.
-
Long reading sessions → dark text on white background usually has better readability and less blur.
-
Older monitors / LCD screens → dark mode sometimes causes eye fatigue because of halation (glow around letters).
⚡ Best Practice
-
Use Light Mode during the day (better readability).
-
Switch to Dark Mode at night (reduces glare and blue light).
-
Or choose Auto / System Default → it switches based on time of day.
๐ For eye health, the most important things are:
-
Take 20-20-20 breaks (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
-
Keep brightness close to room lighting (avoid huge contrast).
-
Use blue light filters / night light in Windows or phone settings.
Do you want me to suggest a best setup (brightness, color mode, blue light filter) for long computer work?

Yes ๐ You can use Dark Mode in Microsoft Word (part of Office 365 / Office 2021).

๐ Dark Mode for Page Background (Not Just Menus)

Under Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office, check:
✅ Disable dark mode for page background → uncheck it (so page turns black). -
Now your document background will also be dark.
