Attractive? Perhaps. Easy on the eyes - NO.

I'm a fanatic about it - white backgrounds are hard on the eyes. New research is *finally* confirming this. The advent of LCD computer monitors has helped the situation a lot - back in the bad old CRT days, white backgrounds on webpages and application programs would quite literally give me a pounding headache after about 30 minutes (which is the *why* I harp on this subject). LCD monitors are MUCH better - but I still experience eyestrain with white (such as the white in this edit window).
