My biggest gripe about the default GNOME settings. Are there any sickos that use black text on white?

IIRC that’s the default on macOS if the theme is in light mode instead of dark mode. So probably.

Hi.
I think the other way around: I read black letters on white paper when I read a book; why shouldn’t it be the same on a screen? I find the black background more fatiguing for the eyes.

ooh ooh I know!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_modelOn paper, you use the subtractive colour model, so the light is reflected off the page, and the text is taking away from what’s reflected.
On a screen, you use the additive colour model, so seeing brighter colours means more lights have to be shined directly into your eyes.If you are finding white/bright text on dark backgrounds difficult to read, adjust your font size settings/thicknesses or check your eyesight out.
Most studies I read have light background (and dark text) as the preferable choice. Most people use too high a brightness setting.
That’s not a reason
