I agree, my solution is to reverse the screen.  Having a black background
with white writing is must more pleasant for the eye, than staring at
a white (light) background for an extended time.

I don't know what the best way to do this is, but I usually do it
while envoking sunview/suntools.  Here is how I do it. 

    sun4:   % sunview -n -f 255 255 255 -b 0 0 0
    sun3:   % suntools -n -i

The above examples are for a color sun4 and a black/white sun3.
I am not sure about any other combinations.


Hope this helps
