I found this interesting article <https://hackernoon.com/apple-and-others-need-a-dark-mode-for-people-like-mol...> . I wanted to express my opinion...
Dark mode looks cool and all, but it does have a downside. I was very happy with the normal Pharo 5.0 look, but when Pharo 6.0 came out with its dark theme, I was rather put off by it. For me, at least, the dark theme makes it harder to read the text. Too bad Pharo isn't themable.
I completely agree - dark mode is great for content that you want to look cool, but no one consumes. :-) You can also automate switching to the light theme with a startup.st: StartupPreferencesLoader default executeAtomicItems: { StartupAction name: 'Set light theme' code: [ Pharo3Theme beCurrent ] runOnce: true. } Disclaimer: my startup.st is different, I haven't tested this, but hopefully you can figure it out from here.
