Is there any hard science to back up using a dark/light color scheme or is it just down to preference?

>However, most studies have shown that dark characters on a light background are superior to light characters on a dark background (when the refresh rate is fairly high). For example, Bauer and Cavonius (1980) found that participants were 26% more accurate in reading text when they read it with dark characters on a light background.
>People with astigmatism (aproximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white. Part of this has to do with light levels: with a bright display (white background) the iris closes a bit more, decreasing the effect of the “deformed” lens; with a dark display (black background) the iris opens to receive more light and the deformation of the lens creates a much fuzzier focus at the eye.
Light color schemes are superior. If your eyes hurt adjust your monitor.

if you read text and i mean READ and TEXT then a light scheme is better
if you program a dark scheme is better because while you do read the program it's not like a normal text but rather a set of instructions and it's easier to grasp how things are laid out on a dark background.

You should choose a font size that is comfortable to read. With smalls sizes your eyes will squint without you even noticing and soon you'll need glasses like all the other "smallfontfag" nerds.

Light color schemes are obviously superior. What's the point of using a dark theme when the very instant something isnt dark it blinds your eyes? Why not just adjust your monitors brightness setting so everything looks fine and wont make your eyes bleed

how about you dont position your monitor in front of a window?????
>Why not just adjust your monitors brightness setting so everything looks fine and wont make your eyes bleed
because im not a neet. at work i use multiple monitors, many of which are used not only by me. thanks to the cloud(tm) no matter what computer i use, my config files are always the same.

For me the dark background is more of a background. A light bg seems to take up space while the dark one just fades away and makes it easier to focus on the text.

I don't see hehehe what would modern monitors change. If anything, there's even more reasons to use light color scheme on an LCD.
