Alright, I’m not sure who exactly to talk to about this, but I’ll at some of the art and graphics guys. Hopefully, they’ll get it to the right people.

Okay…
Lot’s of users/players are what I like to call “daywalkers.” They’re the kind of people that like sun-lit rooms and bright overhead lights. They like (or don’t mind) brightly lit scenes and glaring white U.I.'s because they keep their rooms brightly lit.
For us cave dwellers, however, a brightly lit scene can be quite harsh on our eye stalks… er, I mean eyeballs. Yes, I have eyeballs because I too am human…

Anyway, our eyes become adjusted to our dimly lit rooms, dark themed programs, and black hearts. So, when you flash bright U.I.'s and scenes at us, it’s like blasting us with headlights at night.
I’m not sure why this is such a persistent problem across video games and apps. Perhaps, it is because most people work in brightly light offices, so the issue isn’t salient to them. Dunno. However, I assure you that the struggle is real. And that, in spite of this thread not getting a lot of attention, there are a significant number of us. In fact, here’s a link another forum thread that got a lot more support.
So, please, please, for the love of Zantharixtar, the world eater, please give us some graphics options to reduce glare and brightness. Hopefully, it won’t be too hard to do.
Oh, and yes, I’m aware that you can disable all graphics, but that’s like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Moreover, graphics aren’t just purdy. They can actually provide a lot of information that is useful for things like maintaining spatial awareness, spotting late broadcasts, and identifying what mods a person has running, or weapons they have fit.
Oh, I almost forgot. Please fire whoever was responsible for this… out of a cannon, and towards a particularly sturdy wall.
Sincerely,
