It's not that I'm complaining (as there'll be other themes surely), but I still don't understand how anyone can read the dark themes.. is it a cultural thing? I mean, maybe some of you grew up with saturated colours and white text on a black screen.. possibly the brain will hardwire itself to handle it (I'm only half joking here..). For me it's difficult to read it on the desktop, impossible on the N800. Thank goodness for the Classic look!

Anyway, I agree that's very difficult to read on a normal screen, much worse on the tablet. That's why I'm using the classic theme

When books start printing with black backgrounds, I'll give up.
Anyway, I'm glad this site has the "classic" theme available on the forums.

As per the power usage, yes, the background has no effect on backlight power usage, but some LCD types and all CRTs use less power in displaying dark pixels, so there is a positive correlation to the amount of energy saved and the use of dark backgrounds, though miniscule.

Reggie: it would be really great if you could tweak the "Mobile" themes too, I use them a lot on my N800. I know I can (just about) use the full fat theme on the N800, but over Bluetooth on a pay-per-MB GSM connection it costs me a fortune! 
An "optimised" Mobile theme for ITt would be really cool.

I have to agree, I much prefer the lighter themes.
