Summary description: General Dark Mode Support for LaTeX-Documents
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
i am happy to finally publish my first LaTeX-Package: darkmode
The darkmode Package provides an API for template and package
developers to create dynamic color schemes for light- and darkmodes.
For those unaware: We refer to dark mode when a document has a dark
background with a light font and to light mode if it has a dark font
with a light background.
Therefore, it provides the following Commands:
\IfDarkModeT{<true code>}
\IfDarkModeF{<false code>}
\IfDarkModeTF{<true code>}{<false code>}
\enabledarkmode
\disabledarkmode
(enabledarkmode and disabledarkmode should only be used at the preamble)
Why?
While for the common task of printing a dark mode has a lot of
disadvantages and would take a lot of ink, theese days it becomes
more and more common to view PDF files directly on a Screen.
And Screens emit a lot of Blue light, which - especially in
the evening - can be really annoying to stare at when working
on a large text document. Also modern displays can get so bright
that a stark black and white contrast is too strong for most
lighting scenarios.
Kind regards,
Ruben
