City Lights was too harsh on my eyes. Norway Today is very nice (with
some tweaking).
The text editor window is all that changes. All UI windows and the
output window, etc. stay the same. I usually run with all the windows
but the text windows closed until I need them, so for me the UI colors
don't matter.
I did not stay in dark-on-light long enough to notice if it was faster
than light-on-dark (my eyes can't tolerate white backgrounds for
programming). Since all the colors seem mutable, I doubt there's much
difference in speed.
