Why would a black background aid in saving your eyesight?
Here's a NASA study on background color.

I try to use black backgrounds where I can so that I can save my eye sight
for as long as possible. Then I can keep using 8 point fonts and seeing
lots of lines :D
Thanks

Re: [WDSCI-L] 86 lines of code
Rotated on a Dell 1905FP. At 11 I get 61 lines. At 10 and I get 65
lines with a good 3rd of it in non-used (over 70 columns) so I could
put the outline and stuff there. I usually put the outline , table
view, error list, and remote explorer on the other monitor in a tabbed
format.
The extra four lines not that important so I usually leave it at 11. I
suppose the biggest difference is after using eclipse for so long, I
like the white background instead.

Yeah, so far I've been blessed with good vision so I'm going to take
advantage of it as long as possible :D
What brand/model of rotating monitor do you use? Is that 61 lines on
the
rotated monitor?
I can also open 4 editor panels side by side and see 100+ columns on
each.

I too have dual 19s. I rotate one for LPEX. Unfortunately us older
folks, still need larger fonts. I use Courier New -11 and get 61 lines.

David,
Under Preferences, you can go to LPEX Editor and then Appearance. Here
you can change the font. Per a session about WDSCi tips with Aaron
Bartell, he shared that the font of Lucinda Console-regular-8 is a fine
font to use to be able to see more at once.
I'm also on a 19" monitor. I don't get as many lines as Bryce, but I do
see 70 lines.
Bon Chance!
-Kurt

The main advantage of RDi over PDM/SEU is in the time to
analyze a program and produce code. If you can see 86 lines
of code (in my setup) at a time in RDi(WDSC) versus only 19
in SEU then I don't know how you can ignore the productivity
gains that gives you.
Bryce, what are your preferences set at? I only have 51 lines and I
haven't found another setting that is easy on the eye. My screen is only
17", I think.
Another comparaison with the number of lines : I find that
greenscreeners are less likely to use long names in their code. So you
tend to get a lot more comment lines, thus amplifying even more the
difference. They may be lazy about writing subprocedures as that slows
them down. I still sometimes use SEU for a quick look at something, but
it has to be really quick because often I have to page and page before
finding any code!
