Mark Dain I've heard from a few places and people to try turning syntax highlighting off; most recently this on HN: robertmelton.com/2... I think I'll try it next week at work

Nkrs My setup is similar: background is near white, text and code are black, comments are green, and there's no advanced formatting like bold and italic. The advantage is that I don't need to worry whether my editor can highlight a certain type of file since the only loss is highlighting for comments, and since there's no bold and italic, I can use a larger variety of fonts (currently it is Input Mono Condensed).

Mark Dain Hmm... Yeah it seems people like to color comments and strings but not keywords. I'll see what works. Could you post a screenshot of your setup?
