general web design poll

[ShadowBlade]

Simple poll. When veiwing/making web pages, do you use/prefer a light background with dark text or a dark background with light text?

 

[imported_LoKe]

I have no real preference. Most of my layouts are designed Light back/Dark text, but I've had many designs oposite of that.

 

[Malak]

Depends on theme.

dark hurts my eyes... it didn't used to... but now it does. I can't stay on the page longer than a minute.

light/dark

Light/Dark for one simple reason. Printing. Light text can't be printed well, and even if the user can print the dark background it's a major waste of ink for your them.

Unless you don't expect anyone to ever want to print anything off the site, then do whatever you like.

I very much prefer to do dark text on a light background.

I prefer light background/dark text. When I go to a site with a dark background/light text, then switch to another site with the typical light background/dark text my eyes freak out.
