Over the weekend, I was trying to redesign my Flash Actionscript IDE to look dark…looks like I’m addicted with Dark Themes now, my eye pupils are more relaxed on the new colors settings. For those whom are using big CRT can consider this; what I heard was using darker themes tend to save energy and produce lesser heat.
