Seeing that the site is about autism, and [probably] *your* wares, why did you post your message in this newsgroup? Was it because pet owners are sometimes considered softies? Did you know there are autism newsgroups? I don't appreciate children, but we need to be reminded of ailments that don't directly effect us. I'd have stayed longer, if your lure {pets} had not been so deceptive. In case it matters,I considered the white text on a black background hard to read, and making the site unnecessarily dreary; but it is merely my opinion.

When I was in graduate school, back when we had text-only terminals I used to flip my default colors from green text on black to black text on green because I found it easier to read. One day someone who was wandering around the terminal cluster saw my screen and stopped to talk. He said that the reason that people find dark-on-light easier to read has to do with the quantitative difference that adding new text introduces. This may have been the biggest load of horse poop ever, or maybe just a small load of horse poop, but if you treat the absence of light as the default and as the least amount of work, introducing new light-colored text to a black screen makes a greater relative difference than introducing new dark-colored text to a light screen. I have no idea whether or not that's actually true but I thought it was an interesting explanation and it does seem to be the case that people prefer dark text on a light background. That is to say, it may be considerably more than merely your opinion. I'm a light-on-dark guy, myself. Not sure why. But my most common setting in xterm is yellow-on-black; I guess I just find it easier for my aging eyes to read, particularly in my rather dark office. One consequence of this is the very frustrating fact that it's not very easy to defeat the highlight-by-color "feature," which is much less than helpful in a light-on-dark terminal. I've thwarted vim's syntax-highlighting with a simple .vimrc setting, but as far as everything else goes, I've been reduced to just setting TERM to 'dumb'.
