Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Well, per my eye doctor's instructions, I do not use "dark mode".
Think of "dark mode" as a drug, it feels right so "how can it be wrong?", but then check how it's effected your vision a decade from now.
Those were my eye doctor's exact words. But like politics, it's probably one of those things that even eye doctors are split 50-50.

Do you have those "lines" (even if a different color) when *NOT* using "dark mode" ???

How does dark mode affect your vision? I've been with glasses for the better part of a decade, and since like iOS 13 (2019), i've used dark mode on the daily (except on this forum), and I don't see any vision problems.

I'm *NOT* claiming this to be "true for all". ASK YOUR OWN EYE DOCTOR.
I did read a sh#tTon when my eye doctor told me this, because I DID NOT BELIEVE HIM !!!
From "inconclusive" to outright BIASED to riding the fence with no real conclusion.
I went as far as getting a SECOND OPINION and that doctor TOLD ME THE SAME THING.

Again, ask your own eye doctor. :)
Do some research and be sure to read BOTH SIDES. "Been there, done that."
I did not believe my eye doctor. You may very well not believe yours either, lol.
