For me it's difficult to read it on the desktop, impossible on the N800. Thank goodness for the Classic look! :D

I think power consumption will be less on dark background than bright, so this might be the reason for itT's site design.

********, what drives power consumption is the backlighting, so it doesn't matter if the page is mostly bright or mostly clear.
Anyway, I agree that's very difficult to read on a normal screen, much worse on the tablet. That's why I'm using the classic theme ;)

Usually I avoid sites that have the dark background. They usually appear to be sites with a young audience. I think the human eyes change once you reach 20 years old, making the black background both painful and embarrassing.

When books start printing with black backgrounds, I'll give up.

Anyway, I'm glad this site has the "classic" theme available on the forums.

Additive versus subtractive mediums are the key here. Your computer display adds light to display things, so light text on a black background makes sense and is (for me, anyway) easier on the eyes. Printed medium is subtractive, it takes away light to display information, so a dark text on a light background makes sense for that. Perhaps you guys just need to update your prescriptions. :p

As per the power usage, yes, the background has no effect on backlight power usage, but some LCD types and all CRTs use less power in displaying dark pixels, so there is a positive correlation to the amount of energy saved and the use of dark backgrounds, though miniscule.

Reggie: it would be really great if you could tweak the "Mobile" themes too, I use them a lot on my N800. I know I can (just about) use the full fat theme on the N800, but over Bluetooth on a pay-per-MB GSM connection it costs me a fortune! :) An "optimised" Mobile theme for ITt would be really cool. :)
