Do you program in black or white?
Goladus: I don't like white or black backgrounds, though I prefer white to black in a typical windowed environment.  If my editor has the full screen it doesn't matter, but I don't like menus and other windows being a lot brighter than the editor.  It's either distracting, or it's a jarring readjustment every time I have to change windows.If it weren't for syntax highlighting, I'd prefer slight color variations, with not much preference towards dark-on-light or light-on-dark.  If I have a lighter background I usually prefer the text to be black.  If I have a darker background I usually prefer the text to be slightly colored.  In web terms, an example would be "99DD99" text on "303030" background, or "99DD99" background with black text.
