Colorado background, isn't all black better?

[gallet]

I just loaded the "allwhite" background jpeg to my profiles and it looks pretty crap to me. I tried an all black one to see the difference and to my mind it is not only far easier to read than any other screen, but I am guessing that it takes less power to display a black background.

 

It makes sense that it looks best on black because the lettering has been designed for a black background because all the while letters have a black halo, (which is not visible on the black background) and only serves, along with the background clutter, to make the letters harder to see.

 

Here's the image if you want to try it.

Hmmm, I tried your black.jpg background on my 300 and it is interesting. I have tried every conceivable color except black and had settled on white so far. You are correct about the lettering being easier to read. I want to see how it looks under normal daylight conditions without backlight. Thanks for sharing your image, and thoughts!
