Hi,

The primary OS/APP color scheme through out Maemo5 is white-text-on-black-background. I imagine this design choice was made because:

1. it matches the N900 hardware
2. reduces rendering power consumption (really?)
3. evokes nostalgia for VT100 terminals of yore (;-)

Changing themes, even to something beautiful like Marina only changes the accent colors, and doesn't affect the white-text-on-black-background aesthetic:



Ironically, while the icon of the X-Terminal application (the app most associated with the legacy of VT100) has green-text-on-black-blackground, the app itself has black-text-on-white-background.

I'm curious, therefore, if one could change the overall OS/APP color scheme through out Maemo5 to black-text-on-white-background just like X-Terminal?

Why? Well, because I find it easier to read...

Any ideas/info on this?

Thanks,
