I also use dark theme for everything, and I also have a browser extension for that, but I keep disabling/enabling it because sometimes things bug on dark mode.

How is to be 14 inches from the screen? I wouldn't feel good being this near to the screen.

I am very near-sighted... it feels good. :)

[update: I remeasured in a more relaxed posture sitting back and it's closer to 20" in that scenario]

I was going to comment that all the ergonomics things I've read suggest arm-length (touch with tip of finger) as the optimal monitor distance, but if you're nearsighted enough that doing so would require glasses, I can completely understand wanting to have the screen much closer. That makes a lot more sense.

Even that feels way too close to me. Maybe it's because I've adapted to 3 screens?
