What colors in text editor do you use?

It would be very interesting to know one another opinion on this
subject, since it is connected, after all, to health issues. We use
text editors for many hours per day.

Ophtalmologist once told me that “yellow on blue” is the best
color set. It’s amazing that she knew the Borland’s favourite color
set. Maybe it was scientifically proven?

I personally use black on grey and Fixedsys. Green comments, red
literals and blue keywords.

I use white on black color with Comic Sans MS font for VC++ setting, and
the comments are brown on grey.
My intension is for 1) less stresses in eyes 2) easy distinction between
codes and comments.

Max, I really agree with your opthalmologist ;-))) I’m still using old
Borland’s colors
even in MSVC++ (yellow on blue for text, white for keywords and
operators, gray
for comments and cyan for numbers and strings) and they really make good
to my
eyes. As far as font is concerned, I’m using the Terminal 9.

I dont mind to use default colors given by MSVC & Visual Assist…
Only thing I change fonts to Verdna and Fixdays…

if i needs to choose colors then I might go for faint blue on white bk.
