Call me a bad hacker or not hacker at all -- I hate black backgrounds. My windows are always black-on-lightgrey, sometimes on dark grey, never black. I have been spending 16 hours a day at the screen for last 25 years -- and never understood black background.

Lol, funny. It takes energy to display a phosphor, but none for black. So I don't know how it could be harder for the eyes. Plus, it's "hacker nostalgia" for me, going back to assembler and BASIC on an Apple II. But I think this thread discussion happened decades ago.
