Could you clarify what this means on a monitor? It looks great in photos, but if I have light text on a dark background, I don't want to replace that with dark background, dark text, and a halo between the two.
More broadly, my experience is just that I can accept higher contrasts in dark-on-light than the reverse. TextEdit light is 0 on 255, and I find it slightly harsh in some lighting. TextEdit dark is only 255 on 30, and even that's enough to be consistently annoying. Sublime's ~248 on ~40 is way more usable for me.
- xori 7y agoI don't claim that this is "perfection" but as an example https://jsfiddle.net/c06fkq2a/ Use white for the key-light shadow, and a black for the ambient shadow.
- Bartweiss 7y agoThanks, interesting! I think I misunderstood the initial comment as somehow back-lighting the inside of a window to highlight text, which confused me. Now that I see what you mean, this is definitely better - the grey-on-black windowing of the original link is far less clear than backlighting each pane.
