I also have problems with headaches (mostly migranes) but i've been<br>using light-on-dark themed websites now for quite some time and<br>haven't noticed any difference (or I never bothered to notice). Any<br>how, given the circumstances, I'd go for a dark-on-light themed site,
<br>and the one Jean-Paul posted is a step in the right direction.</blockquote><div><br>I too don't really have problems visiting either types of websites. I think the eye strain phenomena most people experience is not because dark-on-light is actually better but because most computer use is set in a dark-on-light world and so when that is changed you get the afterimage sensation. I think it all mainly comes down to the overall lighting in whatever setting you're in. If you're in a very bright-lit setting (
i.e. it's afternoon and you've got all the windows open in your home/office) your eyes won't like light-on-dark, but if you're in a low-lit setting your eyes prefer light-on-dark. I've noticed an interesting trend in television actually that changes its advertisements according to the time of day. During the day most advertisements use color schemes with dark-on-light, but once evening comes around and you're watching tv on your couch in the low-lit living room all the sudden ads become dark-on-light when they're a lot of text. The eyes adjust the best this way. About eight years ago I actually came up with a website concept that would change its color theme based on the time of day the user was experiencing. That would be neat.

</blockquote></div><br> I wouldn't mind having a copy of the PSD actually. I'd like to convert it to vector form (Illustrator) and can output to SVG from there. It's good practice to have all artwork in vector-form anyway.
