For years I thought I had an idiosyncratic visual problem with
mostly-white or mostly-light displays--headaches, loss of mental
focus, etc. I used X's (horrible) preference "system" to set my
world to black backgrounds. I had trouble using rio for long
periods of time and thought about building my own with different
colors.
Now it turns out that the "display brightness" problem I had was
limited to CRT's, so maybe it was a flicker artifact. Due to
years of habit I prefer dark-background displays, but I'm also
giving rio's color scheme a chance to convert me.
