>Aye, that's all as maybe but the thing is, after so many years with pleasant (to me) eye-restful colours, I really don't like white backgrounds. Maybe it's the artist in me. I find them boring and unimaginative for a start.

I stopped defining special colours when I had to tandem with others and their machines,
partially for codereviews and partially for coaching.

Switching mental gears to the project rules and peculiar developer traits was difficult enough,
so I left the colours mostly alone.
