Happy Loony.

Well, that's all good. I've got the setup on my journal to a place where I can live with it for the time being, though I will eventually go through and tweak this and that.

I also want to go in and put in some overrides so that the font won't be that teensy little shit, and will be something that will actually, you know, show up. I guess they didn't do much testing of how it looks with light on dark vs. the normal dark on light.

(I prefer light on dark on computer monitors as easier on the eyes: less light being thrown at the poor things. Paper is best dark on light, because that's reflected, not projected.)

I also agree with that. Even though dark on light is slightly easier to read, for me (probably a result of upbringing, even that) if I'm coding for long periods of time, I really need light-on-dark for my eyes to be happy. Also, if I'm reading ansi-colored text, like emacs makes, the colors show up so much more nicely against black.
