Post a Screenshot of Your Development Environment!

[clamum]

I changed my IDE colors today and the "Post your desktop" threads in OT made me think of creating a thread here where we can post our development environments. I don't think I've seen a thread about this before but if there is one feel free to link it.

My Work IDE (Visual Studio 2008)

Before this I've always just had the default font/colors for Visual Studio but I decided to try out a black background to see if it would maybe be easier on the eyes. So far I like it but I've only been using it for a couple hours.

I found this color scheme here: Is your IDE Hot or Not?.

Nice and simple

My eyes would go blurry from staring at that for any length of time. Perhaps it's my monitor, but I *hate* webpages that have a black background as well since it's insanely harder to read.

Not my desktop, but essentially it looks like this.

I love textmate

That is pretty nice. Dang, haven't seen assembly in a while! I had an architecture class in college where we did MIPS assembly. Is that homework or do you write ASM for a job?

I may change back but I'm going to test it for awhile. It is quite a bit different from the standard colors but it just seems to have less contrast than the default white background. I also just heard recently that people that look at computer screens for hours on hours a day (10-14 hrs a day for me, about everyday) blink less and so their vision goes bad at a faster rate. I guess anything that helps reduce eye strain for me will be beneficial.

I can't stand white backgrounds either (talk about glare!) but pure black is too much contrast.

That code is from an OS I was investigating. It's not homework, just research.
