can you cite a reference for that assertion? from my rough understanding of the factors here, you'd need a black background on everything (not just the SD window), and you'd need to modulate your text colors down from the brightest available (e.g., use amber instead of white) to get a reduction in eye fatigue.. a less drastic, yet more complete, way to reduce eye fatigue is to match the overall brightness of the display to the environment (which in turn should not be too bright or too dark).. after doing that, one usually has reduced the brightness of whites, and effectively lowered the contrast of black text, and as long as that contrast is not too low, eye fatigue is minimized for me (maximum contrast is not best, to my eyes at least)


i also prefer to edit code with darker colors (less difference between) than most IDE defaults, except for comments which i tend to put in a medium grey (so i can skip them more easily while scanning code.. of course i complain when people want to watch TV in a dark room too ...
