As a side comment to this change of format...
I (for a long time, like most of my programming career) have programmed using grey/light text over a black background.
I recently decided to try the default of white background. so far it's okay. I don't know if my eyes are more or less tired though. The big advantage is that when I paste code from Visual Studio into Outlook, it's readable as opposed to copying black background with my colour settings. Of course it would be easier if it didn't paste in rich-formatting, but that's too complicated to try to figure out. Coloured text is easier to read anyway.
I've always favored green text on black bg. That works well. However, when I program I typically use the Xemacs default, which is black text on grey bg (yes, no fancy IDEs for me, just a good ol' editor. Yea!) and that never gives me too much trouble...unless I've gone and made the font waaay small, as I am known to do.
