Darker backgrounds are easier on the eye, easier to pick font colours for, and work better with image transparencies. Seeing as the Yaroze is the black playstation, black would have made more sense. I usually pick green on black, white on grey or gold on black for my XTerm sessions. White backgrounds give me a headache. There's no pleasing everyone though. Someone's going to bitch about it whatever colours are used. Rob Ryan. -- A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought. -- Lord Peter Wimsey (Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night)
