Not much hard, usable fact. Probably some out there, but I came up empty. Would love to see any references anyone has. I have web pages set for white background, black text default because there are so many idiots out there that will force black text with a font tag without having specified a a white background, assuming that every browser is configured the same. I'd like to be able to use netscape's email with a black background without the setting effecting the browser, but its unfortunately too "well integrated" to have seperate settings :( xterms with white backgrounds drive me insane. And its absolutely MANDATORY to redo *ALL* of your color ls options if you decide thats a good thing. But even for "whatever" ... when it comes to running text based apps, black background is my universal choice (well, the only exception being if I am trying to work in total blackness and need light from the monitor to see things on the desk, etc.) -- jkenner @ mindspring . com__ I Support Linux: _> _ _ |_ _ _ _| Working Together To <__(_||_)| )| `(_|(_)(_| To Build A Better Future. |
