Every Terminal program should have a black background by default

My biggest gripe about the default GNOME settings

Are there any sickos that use black text on white? Hi. I think the other way around: I read black letters on white paper when I read a book; why shouldn’t it be the same on a screen? I find the black background more fatiguing for the eyes.

why shouldn’t it be the same on a screen? ooh ooh I know! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model On paper, you use the subtractive colour model, so the light is reflected off the page, and the text is taking away from what’s reflected. On a screen, you use the additive colour model, so seeing brighter colours means more lights have to be shined directly into your eyes. If you are finding white/bright text on dark backgrounds difficult to read, adjust your font size settings/thicknesses or check your eyesight out.

Most studies I read have light background (and dark text) as the preferable choice. Most people use too high a brightness setting.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
