    I use the standard VS.NET colours, enhanced with the VA[^] colours. I tried some variations a few year ago, but in the end I just couldn't get used to anything else.

      I'm using R(255), G(255), B(191).        I donno, but that colour just reminds me of a website I go to! :^)

        The only change I've made is to make comments red. The more it bleeds, the better! Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

          I once worked with a guy who had his editor background color set to black (which I actually have as well). But in his case, the comments were colored black as well :omg: You could only see them when actually guessing where they might be and then selecting the text. I guess he wasn't that much into the blood thing. fun, Matthias

              Text: white Background: black Comments: green Strings: red (making it easy to scrub the code looking for strings that ought to be in a string table). White-on-black text is much easier on my eyes than black-on-white. --Mike-- LINKS~! Ericahist | 1ClickPicGrabber | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ Strange things are afoot at the U+004B U+20DD

                  I'm using the standard colors, sometimes a bit blinding, but kinda the classic style. Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

                    Just out of curiosity, would you use less electricity with white text on a black background than the opposite? :~

                      I've got a better question... How do you export your perfectly adjusted color scheme and apply it to say... your home machine. --- "This isn't right. This isn't even wrong." -Wolfgang Pauli (1900 - 1958), on a paper submitted by a physicist colleague

                        It must use less energy, since no electrons have to be expended to produce black, but I doubt the amount would be large enough to have an effect on one's bill. --Mike-- LINKS~!
