Subject: [PATCH 1/3] add dark216 color scheme for power savings
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2019 01:49:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190422014906.4253-2-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190422014906.4253-1-e@80x24.org>

"oldweb" remains for compatibility and we still have minimal styling.

Some browsers (e.g. Firefox 67.0a1 via "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme") are
adding support for the "prefers-color-scheme" @media query.  So this
allows pages to respect user choice when it comes to dark or light
schemes.

OLED and CRT displays measure significant power savings when using
dark schemes.  Dark themes work better with less ambient light, so
favoring darkness can lead to overall power savings even with CCFL
and LED-lit displays.
