Well,
It works for white backgrounds but this color scheme is far from optimum.
As I use both white background and black background for the night (I have
read some academic papers that said white background is better for the eye
fatigue but I am not quite sure of it) I need a white background setup
Anyone out there has a proposal of color schemes for white (or at least not
dark) backgrounds which could share with us?
