Some time have passed since I started this thread. I will 'reuse' it to discuss some things I've found on the net after some time searching about the "dark on light" or "light on dark" dilema. The main points I want talk are:
o Light causes the iris to close (that's the reason for sunglasses) and for long time, that muscles can stop working well and the retina start recieving much more light than it should. Needless to say retina can burn. o For people with presbytia and similars, It's easier to read on white backgrounds mainly because the "iris" closes for the light and that fact makes the blur dissapear. Similar to the cameras. o Programs for long time work like video and audio editing ones uses dark themes, I think this is because some the points talked here. o Colors are better identified with black backgrounds when the differences are few. o And for the end. I have seen that the planes controls are all done with dark schemes (black background and white/red/green indicators), could it be considered as a reason to use dark backgrounds???
