Talk about eye strain

Geekdom

There are a lot of people here at work who use custom color schemes on their computers instead of the standard white background with black text. Black & white is harsh on your eyes and IIRC, a blue background with yellow text is one of the easiest on your eyes to use. I question some of the one’s I see around here – sage background with orange text – but only from an aesthetics point of view.

However, there’s this one guy downstairs who uses a bright red background and yellow text. It looks like this

At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat."

I cannot, for the life of me, imagine working on that all day long.
