light mode

Daytime screen setting

Light mode is a display setting using dark text on a light background, the traditional default for most software interfaces.

It contrasts with dark mode, which reverses the scheme.

Some prefer light mode for readability in bright environments: I switched back to light mode because dark mode was straining my eyes in the office.
