Thank you. It's nice of you to say that. In terms of the project, it's really interesting to me. I don't think anyone but a fellow programmer could appreciate it.

Dark themes are easier on my eyes. Otherwise I just use the defaults because I don't have time to fiddle with things that don't affect my code.

I have to increse the font sizes - better than having everything scaled 150% (which I have to do anyway).

I can't go too big on screens or my neck vertebrae will punish me for it.

I can definately relate to that. I've found that the absolute best way to address neck/back problems is by taking physical therapy for a few months. Before I took physical therapy, my lower neck was in awful shape. My physical therapist performed some spinal adjustments during one of my sessions. For years, I had a sharp nagging pain in my lower cervical vertebrae. After he adjusted my spine, the pain disappeared and I haven't had any of that pain since.

Duct tape works for everything

I was wondering about that, too. When you take a look at other web-based code editors online, their font sizes are somewhat small by default. When using Visual Studio, I set the zoom/font-size to between 110%, and 150%. It depends a lot on how tired my eyes get. One of the best things I've ever done was to buy reading glasses. They only cost $15 or so at the supermarket. I get the lowest strength magnification, which is either 1.0, or 1.25. You don't realize how much difference they make until you try them.
In terms of default font-size, I most often use 11 point font. Back in college, I took several typography-related classes. I learned that 11pt Helvetica font is the easiest for most people to read. For code editors, I prefer to go with Monospace. Sans-serif fonts are what I prefer because I find them to be more readable.

I haven't heard of Panda Syntax before. I googled it and found some examples. I like what I see, but the commented text needs to be brighter. I made the commented text in my editor display as green. I figure that if you're going to document your code, it might as well be easy to read.

I prefer the comments more out of sight, but VS Code lets you override theme colors, so you can have it like you want it

I felt like that for a long time, until my employer renovated our office space and installed LED lighting. The ambient light is now brighter than before.
I was talking to one of the youngsters, and he suggested I try a dark theme. It works! I have less eye fatigue at the end of the day. My 'floaters' are a lot less noticeable with a dark background as well.
