I'm looking for a new color scheme for coding, something that's easy on the eyes. I found this page, which has lots of cool ideas...

What do you guys prefer? My theme for the last 6 years has been similar to this. The white background has to go, because sometimes it feels like I'm staring at a lightbulb... :/

Everyone knows that's the best time for serious coding. Nice and dark, quiet, no people awake to distract you, etc... =p

Turn your brightness down

Sometimes, it's surprising how much difference turning the brightness down makes. I like the default gedit colours, though I use emacs. White background, black text [AT LEAST 14 pt- it makes a real difference, try it! If you've got the screen real estate, go 18pt!], green types, blue comments, maroon reserved words, etc. If anything stands out to me to make a difference, it would be changing that light blue to something else.
