Black vs White. Which theme do you use?

[FAHMI BASSEM]

Depends on my start screen background

Thing is, I've had the prompt come up on LCD screens as well (such as the Lumia 1520).

Are you sure? Light theme is actually marginally BETTER than dark theme for LCD screens. The phone should not give that prompt with an LCD.

Same here.

Definitely did give me that prompt on the 1520 the second I selected the light theme. Love to verify but I no longer own the phone. Perhaps a current owner can enable the light theme on their 1520 and screen cap it?

I have a 1520 and switch between the light and dark theme all the time... have never had any "prompt" or message pop up... because it DOES NOT matter on LCD screened phones!

Maybe there was a bug in the OS that has since been patched up, or maybe you're mistaken, and remember seeing that message from another phone... but LCD screens, as I posted earlier in this thread, do not require any extra power to display a white background vs black... LCD screens are backlit all the time when on, no matter what color the pixels are! Brightness yes, but what colors the pixels are, no.

I use white with crimson, because I gotta support the team! However, my alma mater is now using a third jersey--black--so it's all getting very confusing....

Black, white theme just doesn't look right to me. I'll try it, then after about an hour always switch back.

i tried to white for awhile but didn't take to it very well. i think black looks better.

I like white but don't want to use it on my AMOLED screen so I stick to black.
Also, white is too bright at night.

 

[MSFTisMIA]

I have used the dark theme on every WP device I've ever used, start from my Mozart, no matter the screen quality or type. I like the white theme with some colors though, but dark all the way.

Black and cobalt

Once a week. I change colours everyday, fixed for each day(I use around 8-10 colours), with black theme in common.

I love white, but my phone battery & my eyes don't

 

[MysticForce]

I use both but black is more acceptable to me.
