Thank you Juanjo, I used Compiz with Gnome 2 (Ubuntu 10.4 -11.04) and it pleased me with simplicity of inverting colors - just one keystroke - which pushed Ubuntu and (Linux at all) towards the choice of my primary OS. I was tired (or lazy) to set up desktop themes and fiddle with settings of browser and office suite every time I reinstall system. When I needed to see a picture in its true colors or watch a movie I just turned the single window back to positive. However then in 11.04 there came a regression (or bug you might call it) when no more the newly opened windows remembered negative state as default. HighContrastInverse theme is a nice feature and I used to use it also in WindowsXP, where no better solution could be found besides a graphics tweaking application named Powerstrip, with annoying pop-up window on startup. Yet, the theme looks too much austere to please one's eyes. There are also a handy plug-ins to Firefox, at least BYM to mention, that do its job well by modifying the design (e.g. CSS style) of webpages. I counsel to use xcalib because of it's simplicity, though it's not fully satisfying (inverts everything including pictures). However I'm looking forward to seeing Gnome 3.4 meets my requirements.
