I just downloaded the PHP & Smarty syntax bundle, and found that it too was based on a dark background. Can someone please explain this seeming 'obsession' with dark backgrounds when 99% of all other apps are the basic white background with black/coloured text ???
A lot of people who spend the day writing on a Computer prefer dark backgrounds because for them it is less tiring. Dark text on white background works well on paper, because paper reflects light and doesn't emit it. A screen, however, emits light, which makes white really bright.
I prefer dark backgrounds and find them more readable and a lot less tiring for the eye than bright backgrounds.
