He wants to do the old "white text on dark background" thing.

I want to avoid reading on the surface of a lightbulb. I believe we have
been misled. Colors are great, but white text on a dark background is
better for reading.

OSes don't always have a good global control for this, so you have to
hack it a bit at a time (fix each application separately).

Messing with applications is how we used to do it.

Color inversion provides a global fix. No need to mess with
applications. When all colors are inverted, all you have to do is
re-invert pictures and videos. Since the browser is a major source of
multimedia, re-inverting pictures and videos in the browser is a huge
part of the solution.

When using color inversion, of course some of the colors look strange,
but some of them are close to their uninverted color. And you can use
what's left of color control in Windows to make them look good. Even
though some colors don't look right, using color inversion means you see
everything. Messing with the old color schemes meant sometimes stuff was
hidden on a dark background. And since the masses love to read on the
surface of a lightbulb, most inverted text is white on black.

This will go over the head of people who have no interest in dark color
schemes, so it's pointless to discuss with them.
