Is there an option for custom line width/bytecount?

Dark mode with green letters - a standard for hours of working before the screen since 1980’s . The white background is not good for the eyes.
The white background is fine for the eyes, so long as the brightness is set properly - minimum brightness for the surrounding lighting with medium-high contrast. IME, this setup in a well lighted office makes a marked difference in eyestrain at the end of the day when compared to dark modes, dark rooms, and high-brightness light modes.
It's totally individual though. Back when we finally got terminals with white background I was very pleased. A co-worker was completely unable to use them though - he had to set the terminal to reverse mode. We talked about it and it was clear his eyesight was completely different from mine. There's no "one size fits all" here, and I for one have problems with dark mode - I see "flares".

#54Quote: "Doesn't burn out your retinas when used in late-night sessions" I like white background and bright color themes, as in I like my retina "burned". Does it has settings where you can choose your own color scheme or this tool is on the same par with all "cool kids" who think anyone not using dark mode is unworthy?
I have quite strong astigmatism (although I've never heard it referred to as a "disability"). I am completely unable to use software with a dark background. If dark mode is enforced, then me and a lot of other people are excluded from using it.
Same!

Submitted title ("ImHex – A Hex Editor for people that value their eye sight") seems distracting and baity, so I've shortened it for now. If there's a better (more accurate and neutral) title, we can change it again.
Yeah, the "for people that value their eye sight when working at 3 AM" got to me. I knew it had to mean that dark mode was a big feature here. I don't know if this editor offers a light mode. I hope it does. I love good hex editors, and this one looks very interesting. But light mode is a necessity for me because of my vision. I have no quarrel with anyone who only wants to implement dark modes, it just means I won't…
If it is a really good product you want to use anyway, there are programs that can invert the screen for you so you can use them. And the gamma settings in some display drivers can be set to invert too. Not so handy if it's an art program though...

I saw that, but could not find anything that's especially for reverse engineers. The union of "reverse engineers" and "programmers" is just "programmers", and that basically means "a hex editor for people who use hex editors". No?
The union of "humans" and "animals" is just "animals". Does that make a "home for humans and animals" basically the same thing as a "home for animals"? You should know better than to draw that equivalence, dang.
A home for humans has useful things for humans even if it also supports animals. So it’s still a home for humans.

#57Sorry, I hate dark mode apps. Too much eye strain for me. Give me a terminal screen with dark grey letters against a not quite white background and I'm good. Too many books when I was younger I guess.

My girlfriend is the opposite, also serious eye problems but very sensitive to light. She embraces dark mode.
I'm in the middle, I prefer dark modes for my day to day work though.

Green on black is just as much of a meme. If you actually want easy on the eyes do what they actually did in the 80s... grey on dark blue.

Is AmigaOS 1.x default color scheme related to this?
