Be nice. This is the "Open Discussion" forum after all, and the original post is asking for an open discussion on styles. Sounds like a legitimate question to me. He's probably just curious, and there's nothing wrong with that.
To answer the original question, I prefer black on white. Courier New for the font, but any fixed-length font is fine with me. Pretty much the default Notepad++ settings.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
What is your preferred style when programming? Black background, dark grey, white maybe? What font? What colours?
Share your preferred style :)
If you really feel up to it, why not include a link to the style XML file itself? Or even a screenshot?

Color wise, I did something similar to the "vibrant ink" theme in textmate.
Looks similar to:

But the colors are not quite as bright.
I used to think this stuff was frivolous, but these days I enjoy loving my work environment.
Can't you make up your own mind??
