- walshemj 13y agono the one true terminal is the VT100 - with the clicky sound turned on a touch typist sounded like a reenactment of the st valentines day massacre. We even went and brought the official DEC schematics so our electronics shop could fix the rs232 isolators them when a nearby lightning strike took them out. long cable runs under a metal roof
- ashmud 13y agoI grew up with white on blue. The non-bright intensities, that is. Very good during daytime light levels on a CRT. http://mindprod.com/utility/sa!.txt http://mindprod.com/utility/sa!.txt

- mixmastamyk 13y agoSaid to be most ergonomic. The warm color has since been found to be more pleasing in the evening. After I gave up on compiz (negative plugin) due to bugs, I made a night-time stylesheet that converts white pages to orange on almost black, on a hotkey. Using it now to save my eyes from blinding light.
- Amadou 13y agoCan you share? I could really use that.
- mixmastamyk 13y agoI'm currently using the Custom Buttons extension in Firefox to execute the script at: http://pastebin.com/9wWg1Ssw http://pastebin.com/9wWg1Ssw There is also a nice bookmarklet called invert-lightness I like a lot, however it is resource intensive on complicated pages as it must traverse the entire dom. So, I don't use it as much: https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/color.html https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/color.html
- Amadou 13y agoThanks man, I appreciate it.
- induscreep 13y agotry using f.lux, a program that changes your monitor's white temp. depending on the time of day. http://justgetflux.com/ http://justgetflux.com/
- mixmastamyk 13y agoI do use that on Windows. But I find white pages intolerable at night and so it is not enough to change them to off white.
- tomrod 13y agoI have just changed it to this... and I'm not sure I can go back. Thank you mpyne!
- antimagic 13y agoWoah! Careful tiger - you're running the risk of starting a holy war with the green-on-black terminal crowd there! But then, we need a new holy war, now that vi has clearly won over emacs...
