Interesting: Devs posting their font and color settings to a website ( http://idehotornot.ning.com ). Most of the themes are pretty dark, seems like people either have fond memories of their first PC or watched too many Hollywood “hacker” movies (no offense...
Ok, I really tried, but after working with Firefox 2.0 for a few days I still don’t like the Close buttons on the tabs (I know IE7 has them, too, but that doesn’t make things more usable for me personally). Fortunately it’s simple to go back to 1.5 style...
