not so blind :-) 

I can confirm Reiner's problem: installed eric3 two days ago and I could not
find a possibility to change the bg color.

Moreover: qscintilla has an enormous right click menu with all kind of
options that should usually be placed somewhere in the real menu. Right
click by mistake makes me wishing a mouse without the right button :-) 

As for white screens, I don't know what other people think, but I used to
use them a lot in my now past night net wanderings, believing they are more
easy for the eyes. Apparently no, quite the contrary, when last checking my
eyes, the doctor told me white text in black screen (paper) is called
"inverse contrast" and because they are... so inverse to what we are used
to from school, they are in fact more tiresome, only we do not realize it.

The right screen should look something like a book, black on white, anyway
light background...

My 2c,
