I sorry I seem to have offended you. I was merely trying to point out in a light-hearted manner that minimising the amount of light entering the eye, if really does reduce eye stress, cannot be the whole solution, with which you seem to agree. I have also had issues with eye strain and, from the information I was able to find, decided that the evidence seems to favour dark-on-light as being less stressful and that the brightness of the display should be similar to the ambient brightness. If you have any information to the benefits of light-on-dark (which I have always felt looks way cooler - your dark version of angry fruit salad being no exception) and brightness minimisation, I would be interested to read it.
