On the contrary, that's great. There is no such thing as
"overdoing" when solving a problem. If you solve a problem 100%
what does it hurt to solve it 120%?
But that's not even relevant because this is not overdoing. I
never solved a single problem in my life 100% - I reduced them,
built support around them, rolled with them ...
> Mouse is fine for "just reading"
I think the mouse is a killer. It is not productive, it is not
ergonomic. Perhaps some "wheel" on the keyboard for just reading,
so your arms are at least resting, if you want a more "analogue"
UX. Perhaps in as GIS application the mouse is motivated, but
actually even then, I doubt it.

I'm way beyond themes. I setup everything face by face. That
wasn't possible in FF/Iceweasel, which was part of why I switched
to Emacs-w3m (but not the sole reason).
If you talk a look at the dump I posted, the *colors* are not
dark. (Without sunglasses, I would make everything dark.)
Check out this HP I put together on colors I while back. I don't
use X anymore, but I thought it would be a waste of effort not to
publish the work I put into it. There are lots of Emacs stuff, and
screenshots, to.

In a brightly lit room, with monitors (not projectors), with -
well, basically everything I described earlier, that I didn't like
- I'd go *blind*.
> Lowering the monitor brightness level a bit never hurts, though.
I tried that, but I never got a solid conclusion - sometimes, not
*seeing* made for a problem just as big - I dropped monitors
altogether, I'm exclusively using the projectors at my school. I
don't watch TV (never), but sometimes I got to the cinema, with
less strain. I suppose it is the same principle - distance,
relaxation, those things I mentioned...

*Lower* what? (What does that mean?) As for pain management, I
have practitioned boxing and Muay Thai (kickboxing), and I have
been productive with computers while at the same time experiencing
severe hand and eye pain. I don't know what more there is to
it. Reality.
