There is an adittional reason, as someone whose eyesight is slowly getting worse I think it is easier on the eyes to read white on black.

Text should be printed with the highest possible contrast. There is good evidence that for many readers who are older or partially sighted, light (white or light yellow) letters on a dark (black) background are more readable than dark letters on a light background. However, the traditional dark on light may be aesthetically preferable.

I think I would agree with this so if it isn't too much trouble would like to be able to use it in this way which should be a little easier on the eyes.
