I am using the solarized light theme. The dark theme I installed as well but I hardly switch to it. > My experience is also that something below the highest contrast > is much easier on the eyes.

Definitely recommended! On Debian GNU/Linux, I am using redshift[1] for the same purpose because flux had some instability issues. So the bright theme gets warmer in the evening which fixes this issue to me. It always huts my eyes a lot when I temporarily disable redshift/flux :-) 1. http://jonls.dk/redshift/ -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
