Line-number characters are bigger then everything there, and because they form linear pattern easy to follow, they are most obvious place to look at first, being larger then anything and with distinct color Excluding yellow icons in Symols tree view, of course...
I don't have some pet here right now, but I'll show later that image for 3 seconds and ask participant what data they remembered Grey background may prove me wrong, but I'll see...
Well, I would have to say that that experiment is irrelevant, the Geany GUI is designed for staring at for hours at a time, in which case you tune out the line numbers and margins unless you actually need them :)
