My eyes....
« on: October 27, 2008, 11:50:40 AM »
Man, why do websites use black backgrounds with white lettering? Freakin' torture. After 10 minutes of reading, my eyes feel all screwed up.....as I struggle to type this, waiting for them to adjust.....

Funny. A lot of people feel the same about black lettering on white background.

Or Kawasaki's.

My problem is where there is little contrast between the background and writing.  If I have to try to adjust the angle of my screen or get out my glasses(magnifiers), I am likely to just give up.

Red text on a blue background is worse.  Also blue text on black background.  See both way too often.

Black background doesn't light the room up so their Mom won't catch them web surfing after beddie-bye. ;D
