Yes. On my bad monitor, I can easily see all the white checkered
patterns, but not the black squares. I wonder how common an occurrence
this is (monitors having more subjective contrast in light colors than
dark colors).

I=E2=80=99m actually getting used to switching themes depending on the time=
 of
the day and the ambient light. Currently, I really like ef-duo-light as
it is a light theme but still gentle to the eyes.

Thanks again,

Alan
