Hey all,

Reverse color text (white text on a black background) seems to come up in
our discussions from time to time, and usually someone chimes in that it's
less readable.  However, I know quite a few programmers who switch their
editors to a reverse color scheme due to eyestrain, including myself.  And
the statement that reading black text on a white screen "is like looking at
ants on a lightbulb" has always rung true with me.

So, here's a little research on the subject:
http://www.joedolson.com/articles/2006/08/on-the-readability-of-inverted-color-schemes/

According to the study, the readability is the same either way so long as
the type is adjusted correctly, and it comes down to personal preference.
Just thought I would share that and see if anyone has thoughts.

Loren
