On this slightly off-topic subject, an oculist told me the dark background did not really matter, what matters is the contrast. Very high and very low are not good, something inbetween (but he could point to a way to quantify this.) I use xcalib (http://xcalib.sourceforge.net/) to quickly switch from light-on-dark (most often) to dark-on-light (from time to time) and I recommend it. -- Bastien
