Dark Vs Light Themes

[Teg1]

Typically, do you like to see forums, sites and blogs with dark or light themes? For me, it kind of depends on the niche of the site. Typically, for most sites, I like to see dark themes with the option of a light version of the same design to accommodate users who prefer one over the other. I like to design darker themes as they are fun to design.

Well, personally I prefer light themes. They are easy on the eyes and not to mention that they give off, the professional look. Still, it depends on the niche. For a gaming forum, a dark theme suits better than a light theme.
That being said, most of the popular sites use light themes which is treated like a standard, these days.

I like light themes a lot better than dark themes. Depending on how it is designed, however, I will tend to favor a dark theme more. All in all, I think webmasters should have both a light and dark theme option for members.

The theme used depends on the niche you blogging on or dealing, for instance education forum should use light theme cos education reflect light
