I have my IDE and terminal themes following OSX Dark Mode, which I switch in and out of throughout the day depending on ambient lighting. My screen is perpendicular to the window, but still there's a period in the afternoon where it's almost impossible to read dark mode text.

At first I couldn't find a way to automate this and was doing it manually, but there are plugins for both iTerm [0] and IDEA [1].

Think of it as an adaptation for working in a dark environment, not something you use all the time.
