I hear you, but the most workable solution I can think of involves swapping
black and white in the color table, and I hear there is an NDA out there
that does this.  (I've also heard it crashes under some applications?  Don't
know why, it's a simple enough thing to do.)

So far inclined *not* to try to make the system software swap the colors
this way, because it would make some applications look really bad, through
no fault of their developers.

Most people seem happy with white backgrounds, so maybe a third-party NDA
is a good solution.
