  > If normal mode bothers you so much, it says one thing: your ambient lighting is crap
It's easier to change software than hardware. My screen only gets so dim.

It's easier to change software than the sun. Neither its brightness nor when its up or down.

Wikipedia, why the fuck do you have "auto" if it's not the default? I've never wanted to slap someone in the face so much.

But seriously, we can detect the desktop setting trivially. We have options!

We can both win here!

There's no reason for a war here, yet one still exists. Light mode sucks because the designers suck. Stop being so lazy. The vast majority of templates have an auto toggle! You have to go out of your way to remove it. If you're going to do things by hand, you have even less of an excuse. There's no "one size fits all" and it's clear there's significant numbers of people that like both styles. So do the "hard" work, especially when its not hard

Stop being so lazy.

And if you're mad at me calling you lazy for not adding the option, then you'll be more mad to know I think you're the problem.
