In windows 98se is a colour that I used to soften the glow from the screen and allow me to look at it longer through the day.

It is a light green colour, almost lime and I used it as the display color and it is very easy to look at.
I can't see as an option with XP though.

I heard there are "computer glasses"? Anyone know anything about them?
Computer glasses are normally upside down bifocals meaning that the lower part of the bifocal is placed on the top or you can simply get a pair of glasses that has the prescription of the lower part of the bifocal as the entire lens. The reason they are made this way is so you don't have to tilt your head so far back to use the lower part of your bifocal to read the monitor-cuts down on head and neck pain.

My personal recommendation regarding eye strain when using a computer is to take a break every 15-30 minutes and focus on something in the far distance for 30 seconds or so. By "far distance" I'm referring to something such as a tree that is 300-400 yards away. Works wonders.

I wonder if you could use "paint" as a background color for the screen.

Mil1ion, is the color you're talking about in "paint?

No it isn't.

The colour is in XP.

Once you open the *appearance & themes* icon, you go to *display*
then click the *appearance tab* then click *advanced*

then set the item as *desktop* then click *color 1* box.

the green I speak of is in the lower left hand corner or color box number 13 .
