Here's mine. I set it up so long ago I can't remember if it was the default one or not. It's probably not on the cool list.

I can smell some laziness here

Btw, mine is like this one too

I don't think it's because I'm lazy. But I just don't have the need to customize everything. And I've always liked the default colors scheme, so why not go with it

jap, I agree.

on win98 I customized everithing at the first time.

after the fifth re-install I just hadn't the nerve to do it all over again.

I always use default-styles today.
(except XP, I activate the "classig content" switch, but I don't use the classic style, because I like the fixable taskbar.)

Only thing I customize in XP is the theme, I use the Royale theme which looks great. And offcourse Firefox. All the rest are "un"-modified.

I use the default theme with the only change being the line number and code folding background is light gray. I also increased the font size slightly for easier reading.

I find it very easy on the eyes, so easy in fact that I changed UEStudio's colors to match PB's.

Those dark background scheme's remind me of the DOS days when everything had a black background.

Yeah, I agree. I'm a man of the future, not the past

yap, agree.

the light but not white back is very conveniant to the eyes.
"eggshell" is e really good background-color....

I use the default colours, don't like the dark schemes at all, very gloomy.

A "trick" I learned a long time ago to ease eye-strain was to go into the Windows display settings and edit all the settings that were set to white by lowering the blue component a little bit producing a very light yellow.

Much more pleasing and less "strenuous" to the eye than white.

(I haven't tried it but I would guess you could also lower all the colors a little producing a very light gray as well and achieve the same effect but I find the light yellow pleasing enough to not mess with it beyond that)

I think some gray is not as conveniant as a slight color.
and from the colors, yellow (if it isn't too shiny) is the one that is most stimulating.
green is relaxing, blue is cold, red is agressive...

"mellow yellow"

is always a good choice

I guess about 50-60% of all schemes in here are hurting my eyes. I use the default color scheme, as it is nice and I don't get headaches of it.
