| <!-- <td style="padding-left:5px;padding-right:15px"> Please leave this select box commented out until people get really frustrated about NOT having a light theme. The default theme is black, and lets try and keep it that way for as long as possible. Black themes are better because they are good for the eyes (emits much less light into the eyes), and it saves a lot on power (because it emits less light). And tablet, phone and laptop batteries would last longer while using the application. The only thing bad about black themes is that people in general prefer white themes, and don't like black themes because it makes them feel all awkward and weird inside. But because people in general are stupid, trust their feelings instead of their logic, and just generally full of shit, they would rather have a white theme, do harm to their eyes, and use more power just so they can feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. So help me to help the world, fight the forces of evil, and keep this code commented out as long as possible so that we can start forcing people to change. The only way to move forward is to embrace change. Like the Mr Smith said: "Change is inevitable!" Once people start using it, the warm and fuzzy feeling of comfort would come back as they get use to the change. And we would all live happily ever after in peace, with healthy eyes and long lasting batteries! Only when someone actually have an eyesight problem and cannot use the black theme at all, then it might be the time to enable the theme changer, and remove this comment. <select class="select" onchange="[THIS].switchTheme(this.value)"> <option value="../app_theme/theme_dark.css">Dark Theme</option> <option value="../app_theme/theme_light.css">Light Theme</option> </select> </td> --> |

Funny comment in old code
Today a client of mine 'found' some comments in HTML code that was long lost and forgotten. I estimate it to be around 5 years old. It is a web app that has a very dark theme, and as we know, there always has been controversy over dark themes. And this comment gave me quite a chuckle. Fortunately the client did take it as a joke and didn't harbour any hard feelings.
