Default color scheme for Blocek? (Users)

Hi!
I am finishing the new version of my editor Blocek. It contains really many new features.
But I want to ask you whether the default color scheme for distribution should be the traditional black text on the white background (here) or the scheme I prefer and personaly use with Blocek - the white text on the green background (here).
(Or something even else?)

And of course, you can everytime change the colors setting.

This is very good news about the new version.

Personally, I prefer either a white text on black background, or the MS-DOS Edit default of white text on dark blue background. A white background is far too bright, hard on the eyes!

light grey on blue seems to be a msdos standard (Turbo Pascal, Edit)

Yep, you are right, light grey on blue is really common in DOS. So the default color theme will be looking like this

However I am not sure about the default colors in Turbo pascal. I think that it is a yellow text on blue.
However for many years (decades?) I use this scheme.

Yes, that's perfect! (For some reason, I thought Edit was white on blue, but it is in fact (light) grey on blue.
