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.
