Yellow mode

Problem: Wikipedia and others projects are too bright. Well, some of users asked for a dark mode, but i think, something like a "yellow" mode would be better. I mean, for people who had modern glasses, there is a "filter" for protecting eyes from the light violet/blue band and my proposition would be something like this. Not really dark, (because its too much i think) but in yellow, just for not letting light violet/blue passing... i hope you'll understand what i mean...
Proposed solution:
Who would benefit: Everybody and people with glasses more specifically.

I think you are looking for a sepia-tone style ?? —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:38, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About the glasses, those users may benefit from reading en:Biological effects of high-energy visible light#Aggressive marketing. On topic, can this be done with User.css? --Error (talk) 11:33, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Error: mostly, especially if you don't want to have a control for it. For reference see w:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode.css - this is the css for the English Wikipedia's "dark mode" gadget; you could fork it to your own css file, and change the colors to a sepia palette. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:15, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This feature is already available on most popular operating systems: Windows, macOS, Ubuntu -FASTILY 08:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fastily: yes for the new laptop or PC but not for the older and for people who use Windows 7 or 8 like i do sometimes Ajilefostad (talk) 13:18, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have you used f.lux? This a big reason why mainstream operating systems have a night mode. -FASTILY 23:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's also on mobile: Samsung, iOS, etc. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 10:04, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is out of scope for the community tech, in the same way that dark mode is out of scope for community tech? C933103 (talk) 23:51, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed! We can still discuss and vote vote for it over in the Larger suggestions category, but there's no guarantee it will be picked up. This one might have more hope since it is just a global hue adjustment, compared to Dark Mode which has to exempt certain elements. The same clashing with our Varnish caching still applies, though, so this "yellow" mode have to only be available to logged-in users. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 22:29, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blue-light problem is very problematic to readers, but there is a concern of the topic is extremely big for the small Community Tech team to handle. They can have better teams to call. Thingofme (talk) 14:38, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
