Yes, wherever possible I select the options that provide a screen with
white text on a black background. In some cases it's simply a matter of
selecting a "theme."
That certainly works for me except at times where a web page wants a
response and it shows what I type in black text on black. Then I have to
switch to a conventional color scheme, highlight the text, or simply
have faith that I typed it right!
That considered white on black is still the best option for me and I
accept the few problems I have with it. I've been doing this for a long
time and made adjustments over the years. The only problem encountered
was a complaint when someone saw white on black in a message and
protested and I think I know how to prevent that from happening now,
although it seems like nit picking to me.
What theme it is?
$ xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<PROFILE>/chrome/userContent.css
