Dark theme and white vs. green color

Hi,

While we were improving the DiffMorph for the dark theme, we conclude that it is much harder to read the text.

I personally also often miss a new debugger window on a big screen. Something I have not experienced before.

And this discussion reminds me the old computers where the background was black and text green. There are two screenshot to compare it:

A personally feel that it is much easier to read the green text.

What do you think?

I think that green reads better. Something like solarized will be really nice [1]. But maybe that is a lot of work now.

I agree, that dark theme is harder to read than green on black. I just want the old light theme, how do I get it?

Thanks, I was looking for "color" in an already open settings browser. That doesn't work.

I can tell you that for me the green is a lot more difficult to read because it is too saturated.

During a long period I could not use the dark one because of the saturated red error color.

I could just not read what was written.
