#2Is "for people that value their eye sight" just a synonym for "defaults to dark mode"?
Re: ImHex – A Hex Editor
#3Any chance for a different font that has antialiasing? I find non-antialiased fonts very hard to read.

Dark mode with green letters - a standard for hours of working before the screen since 1980’s . The white background is not good for the eyes.

The whole phrase is "A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people that value their eye sight when working at 3 AM."
The screenshots sure are unkind on my presbyopic eyes, even when blown up to full size.

Yeah, but in those days we did that because there wasn't any other option. It's not like the colour scheme of the monochrome terminal was chosen for ergonomic reasons.
If anything, amber terminals were easier on the eyes. Or the white on black ones. Those were nice.

Green letters doesn't seem eye friendly at least to my eye. My eye much prefers white on dark grey for emissive screens (LCD, LED) or black on white for reflective screens (e-Ink).
I had the impression that pre-1980's screens were green for chemical reasons not for eye-strain optimization (?)

#8The title seems pretty unkind to the project and I almost skipped it. “Bleh bleh yet another hex editor”.
But this has some nice features! For example, it can parse the executables, and show structures:
Disassembler supporting many different architectures ARM32 (ARM, Thumb, Cortex-M, aarch32) ARM64 MIPS (MIPS32, MIPS64, MIPS32R6, Micro) x86 (16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit)
Just to start, along with a ton of other file parsing, etc.
This looks pretty cool. Compiling it needs a C++20 compiler and no small list of dependencies...but it’s cool.

#9Any chance for a different font that has antialiasing? I find non-antialiased fonts very hard to read. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#q-h...
I believe this is implemented.
You will have to edit imgui.ini which is generated after launching the program once.

And not the crisp white of modern LCD
