As I've aged my preferences have moved away from dark themes to light themes.
I used to have everything in dark mode: terminal, IDE, sublime text, use Dark Reader Chrome extension.
But I can't see shit anymore. I need light!
Also definitely stay away from Solarized. The contrasts on Solarized get muddled really quickly if you run your screen at low backlight intensity and especially if you use a night light blue filter / orange overlay.
Hope it helps!
(I suspect a decent chunk of Solarized’s popularity came from the fact it was popular, rather than the “science”-based facade it marketed itself as.)
