    Personally I prefer a black background, large (14+ point) bold font, and syntax coloring with every color of the rainbow above #999999. The colors and contrast help keep my eyes interested on the average 11+ hours per day in front of the (LCD only) screen. The black background helps prevent eyestrain.
