That's interesting that black would cause more strain, even if I have very bright colors? I have always had excellent eyes and for some reason white always makes it difficult for me to see.

I should play around with some different background colors and see if I can get used to anything.
The black background forces your eyes to focus on the other colors, regardless if bright or not. It's just the way our eyes operate and it's how we've trained them - for many years, you've trained them to look for a light/white background and black text.

Same theory holds for the charts that you stare at for many hours each day.
