I don't really have a favourite layout, as I like to play around with the settings a lot. Often I try to find a perfect colour to match my mood or to choose fonts that are most suitable for the style of a book. The bounty of options alone is a reason to love Marvin!

I do often get back to Arvo and some kind of green backgrounds, though, day and night. This seems kindest for my strained eyes. I find reading without glasses more comfortable, so I use fairly large text.

Light text on dark background doesn't work for me, so I rather have fairly dark backgrounds at night.
This reminds me that someone said in The Long Thread a while ago that it would be better to save the fonts with a theme. I would second that. Negative text for example would need a heavier font and a bigger size, at least for me.
