Thanks for killing my eyes

>tfw been using solarized since int got released and I got so used to it I can't deal with anything else

>>974876 (OP)

base16_grayscale-dark is comfy.

you suck, sucker

>>974876 (OP)

When did you realize that this fucking debate is pointless until everyone has the same monitor?

black on white = good for reading text like novels, docs etc.

anything on black = good for programming

/thread

green or amber on black with low brightness with sct/redscreen works well on an old tn panel at nighttime

i wonder what VA panels, OLEDs and E-Ink would feel like

I actually use my own mostly amber day\night themes, should work on pretty much anything base16 compatible. Not bothering with a screenshot because its trivial to modify most solarized themes with it.

Night:
#ffb000, #ED9E00, #D16F00, #B55D00, #4C2D00, #382000, #1C0F00, #190D00, #DC3200, #CB4B00, #723900, #738500, #1F7500, #1D6B00, #6C7100, #9E2800
Day:
#160C00, #1C0F00, #382000, #4C2D00, #B55D00, #D16F00, #ED9E00, #FFB000, #DC3200, #CB4B00, #723900, #738500, #1F7500, #1D6B00, #6C7100, #9E2800
Solarized dark for reference:
#002b36, #073642, #586e75, #657b83, #839496, #93a1a1, #eee8d5, #fdf6e3, #dc322f, #cb4b16, #b58900, #859900, #2aa198, #268bd2, #6c71c4, #d33682

I'm really fond of the Deeper-Blue emacs theme. For the terminal I use

#000000
#aa0000
#00aa00
#aaaa00
#3333aa
#aa00aa
#00aaaa
#aaaaaa

#555555
#ff5555
#55ff55
#ffff55
#5555ff
#ff55ff
#55ffff
#ffffff
#ffffff

i can't use light schemes, i tried many times and it just hurts my eyes

Reading large amounts of text is DIFFERENT than programming/reading code.

>>975579

I find normal text more comfortable to read with a dark backgroud too.

On paper it doesn't matter much though.

cobalt themes

Amber on black is actually better for long-term viewing but yeah.

>>975540

It depends largely on your monitor, and how much light you have in your environment.

>>974876 (OP)

I only use the standard EGA 16 color palette. Anything else is for failures.

solarized-dark , it just werks(tm) on my eyes

>>974876 (OP)

>>tfw you aren't allowed to change the color scheme at work

I just use black on white, no syntax highlighting

That's what it looks like in the textbooks we read, so Idunno why it has to be different on the screen. Too many colors is overstimulating for me.

>>974876 (OP)

You all suck with your circlejerking about who has best colors setup...

>>977515

Typically TUI programs have the option to run in either color or monochrome mode, e.g. "lynx -nocolor", "mc -d". But you can also tweak the colors in the config file. I simply set "skin=dark" in /etc/mc/ini and it's comfy.

Some programs like Alpine and Tin default to monochrome, and you can also change the colors there too if you enable color mode.

I haven't yet come across a TUI program that's unusable at the text console, which on OpenBSD is basically a VT220.

I have no problem reading black text on light backgrounds in a browser, but for some reason it feels wrong in a text editor.

>>974912

comfy. what browser is that?

>>977566

w3m

>>978803

its shit just like you, varg

Maybe lime green - not the vomit green that you have.

>>979647

It's less "gay" and more "homosexual".

>>979669

It does actually make a difference which colors you use. A white background lights up the room quite a bit more than a black background. You can also adjust the brightness of the lamp.

That's why I even set my Links -g background to black. Just the default black on lightgrey was annoying. And all my terms use a black background.

>>979669

I have 6 CRTs that I bought in the last few months. They're easy to find and cheap, and typically look better than LCD of the same size. Black background actually seems to be less painful to look at than an LCD. Actually I was wondering why in recent years I couldn't look at black background, maybe that's why.
