I don't particularily like black on white either though I like white on dark gray or black on light gray. Both seem to give me less eye strain than the stark contrast of white/black. I've got glaucoma so it could be I just have wierd eyes all the way around :o( JB Psych studies have actually shown that the human eye differentiates light on dark more easily than dark on light and a dark background (making up, as it does, most of the screen) should cause less strain to the eyes, being less bright. However, I think that we find reading white-on-black easiest because we've all been habituated to it from reading books. Roz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
