every screen in Disco is in night mode

[F. King Daniel]

Did anyone else notice this?

Every single computer screen in Discovery is in night mode. And since they all share a similar colour-on-black scheme, one could argue that by extension, every computer screen we've ever seen in Star Trek has been stuck on night mode.

Discuss.

Lorca programmed the Discovery to only show monitors/screens on night mode to protect his eyes.

 

[ITDUDE]

Well, that's racist assuming the "Earth" night mode symbol should be used across Federation

 

[CorporalClegg]

Nice find @King Daniel Beyond

Way to bring it to light.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Way to bring it to light.

I see what you did there.

 

[Jadeb]

If they hadn’t played so fast and loose with the TOS designs, I might have thought it was homage to the black backgrounds on the blinky screens on the original Enterprise bridge.

All of the lighting schemes in Discovery appear to be for nighttime mode.

Eh? I don't see it.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Eh? I don't see it.

You never see dark text on a light background. In every computer screen ever seen in DSC, it's always light text against a black background.

Well Captain Mirror there had those sensitive eyes, so the systems are probably locked into it. I hope as soon as Pike takes command he orders everything to be switched to day mode.

"Why is it so dark on board? Computer... Switch to full illumination"

 

[ITDUDE]

Eh? I don't see it.

and this

 

[F. King Daniel]

I take it you don't use Twitter?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I actually think it's really cool that there is, in-universe, a toggle for night mode right on the DSC screens.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Considering where the symbols are on those screens, they could be the Starfleet equivalent of a WiFi and data strength.

Instead of bars, there are rays. Instead of WiFi lines, there's phases of the moon.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

But surely by the 23rd century, computer technology has advanced far enough that there's no longer any such thing as "signal strength"? Meaning, WiFi - or the Trek equivalent of same - is ubiquitous and omnipresent. There's nowhere it can't go.

 

[Avro Arrow]

Seems reasonable. They're in space. It's always night...

 

[Tuskin38]

I take it you don't use Twitter?

Twitter has a night mode?

I know what night mode is.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

This is a hilarious detail, I love it!

 

[CorporalClegg]

Wasn't there a Bob Seger song about this?

With Burnham closing in.
