That's the reason I posted my differences - peoples eyes react
differently to such situations. I've found my eyes less bothered
by using a moderately light background with dark, contrasting
letters, keeping the contrast on the monitor turned somewhat low,
and keeping the room moderately dark. I also cannot stand
flourescent lights in almost any setting.
Thanks for helping out. XTerm settings are something few people
delve into much, but are a big part of creating an ergnomic work
environment on UNIX.
