Excellent, even with the low contrast, the title text are now legible. For these late-night owl eyes, keeping it dark is important.
Why the software designers and internet publishers as a whole don't understand that monitors are not sheets of paper, and do not need white backgrounds with black text is beyond me. Maddox got it right:
I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.
