White on gray is the only dark mode that doesn't hurt my eyes. I use light mode for practically everything except IntelliJ which has a great built-in "Darcula" theme (which is now opt-in in favor of a more standard dark mode that I hate) which looks similar to DF's theme.

White on black or dark gray makes my eyes bug out. I have pretty good vision but that's the only thing that actually hurts my eyes.

Hope you don’t get floaters when you age. You may be caught between a rock and a hard place.
