Due to the great use we make of computer and technological resources in our day to day, it has been necessary that both operating systems and current applications are being developed with new design features for the end user, allowing the editing of their icons, appearance, fonts and many more aspects. Customizing and improving the work environment is one of the changes that we system users often make, edit fonts, change themes and modify desktop elements in order to acquire a much more modern and unique appearance..
One of the most necessary, useful and striking is the dark theme that we can see in many operating systems and applications, as for example we can see in the new updates of Windows 10 and macOS Mojave . This is responsible for establishing, as the name implies, a dark background in the environment, basically thinking about protecting the user's visual health by not displaying bright colors. At the level of appearance, the dark theme is ideal for situations in which we have to work for many hours in front of a team, since as we know, visual exhaustion and tiredness gradually becomes more delicate and can have consequences if we do not take the appropriate measures.
