Hi everyone, There's a debate in our team on whether we should use dark or white background when displaying texts (say around 200 words).
Not considering the fonts, font size, and color contrast, I found myself feel more comfortable to read texts on dark background for longer period time on screen. Some posts I found on web (such as http://my.opera.com/Vorlath/blog/show.dml/283240) also state print media and computer screen are different. Computer screen itself outputs lights and thus white background can be blinding. However, most of the news site and even the IXDA forum is still using white background. Is this just a convention or has some scientific reasons behind it? -Yun-Ling ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
