A frequency that would be good enough for WoB would visibly flicker in BoW. And I guess there was a reason why some terminals were not black-and-white but black-and-green. Jenda P.S.: I used to have my Win 3.x set to black background and green letters. It looked nice, but some applications ignored the system settings and appeared in black-on-white :-( I was too lazy to play with this later. = [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz = When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: eyes
Yellow on black is supposedly the most visible color combination to the human eye. You can give it a try. -Original Message- From: Mariusz [mailto:mkubis22@;hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 11:48 PM To: perl Subject: eyes Not really perl related but maybe someone did the research..

RE: eyes
My favorite is black (at lease 12 pt) on off-white (rgb (248,248,238)) - been using it for years - and I'm really old!

What colors >(background and font) are the best for the eyes (vision)? I don't know about the colors, but "bright white" will be hard on your eyes. Lower the settings on your monitor for brightness, and color temperature. Also put a 40 watt light behind your monitor to backlight it, if you are in a dim room. The bright rasters make graphics look great, but staring at text files all day on them, will be hard on the eyes. Try to "soften" your screen, so instead of "brilliant white" you have a "washed grey" look. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
