What do you think of this? http://www.ironicsans.com/owmyeyes/
This fellow is trying to say that white text on black is a bad thing, but personally I don't like a blinding white screen with black text, particularly in a fairly dimly lit room where I tend to read peoples webpages. I have seen worse... deep blue text on black, that is almost impossible to read.

I'm old school: I prefer white or green on black. Black on white is fine on paper (literally), but on monitors the white background is painfully bright.
ReplyDeleteI think there are far worse combinations, though - blue backgrounds were popular for a while ("I've got a colour monitor and I'm gonna use it!"), and I've seen some yellow and purple combinations at work that still give me nightmares...
Ha yes, I had an Amstrad CPC 6128 years ago... 1986 actually.
ReplyDeleteIt's default was yellow text on a blue screen.
I would change it to yellow on black, which I thought was a bit better, although the resolution still gave me headaches.
