Sure, but you can also have contrast with a dark background that isn't constantly shooting a third of the photons your screen can generate (or more, since in some screens blue pixels are the largest), and the most energetic at that, at your eyes... high contrast themes tend to have a black background (not a gray one like most dark themes) precisely as a way to maximise contrast...
(It was even worse when we sat all day in front of a fucking particle accelerator, of course; frankly, as much as I loved CRTs' ability to work with multiple resolutions I don't know how we didn't all end up going blind...)
You might not like it, but Borland yellow on blue was peak IDE design.
Personally, I have downloaded Borland themes for all my IDEs. I don't use them, of course, because I'm not entirely insane and I value my eyesight too much, but I have downloaded them.
The Trees fell during the First Age; the Downfall of Númenor and the Changing of the World happened towards the end of the Second Age, almost three thousand years later, and involved Sauron, not Morgoth, who'd been defeated and exiled from the world at the end of the First Age.
As for Legolas, he was a Sindarin elf born in the Third Age. He never saw the Trees, and had never been in Aman at the time of The Lord of the Rings.
The only named characters in The Lord of the Rings (other than ones mentioned in songs and legends) who had ever seen the trees were Galadriel, possibly Celeborn and Glorfindel, technically Gandalf and Saruman (provided the Istari count as the same people as the Maiar they were back in Aman), and, maybe, Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, but who knows, really, with those two. (I don't think Sauron ever was in Aman, at least during or after the time of the Trees).
I just ask them to please do anything they can to fix whatever my hair is doing, inasmuch as possible, and to remove as much volume as they can without it getting out of control (too long, and it's a chaotic uncontrollable mess; too short and it's also a chaotic uncontrollable mess; these two states sometimes overlap... but I don't want to shave the whole damn thing).
It usually works for a week or two until it starts getting long enough to start getting completely out of control again.
He wasn't some revolutionary, though... he'd just watched Taxi Driver about fifteen times and wanted to impress Jodie Foster (who, it must be noted, was twelve when shooting the film, and barely eighteen when Hinckley shot Reagan).
I very much doubt he'd have become an idol, given that.
He didn't shoot Reagan for being Reagan, he shot him because he wanted to impress Jodie Foster after developing an obsession with her (who'd been twelve when filming and was eighteen at the time of the attempt on Reagan's life) after watching Taxi Driver about fifteen times.
