Ask HN: What is your preferred text editor color scheme?
I was wondering, what color schemes do hackers use when programming? is it mostly dark background or bright? does it change for different programming languages?
For people who use dark color scheme: doesn't it hurt your eye?

- yati 14y agoSolarized Dark! Actually, dark schemes are better on the eyes than light ones, but when you're browsing while coding, most Webpages tend to have a bright background, and too frequent switches between the dark console and the light browser may tire the eyes. But for long coding hours, definitely a dark colour scheme.

- fidanov 14y agosublime or textmate with Railscasts. It's a dark theme, very nice. I find it very clear, easy to distinct keywords, variables, methods, comments just by the color.
