It has been out.

Scientifically it is inconclusive as to whether light screens cause less strain than darker screens. Historically it has been in favor of dark screens causing less because the computer's light (behind the screen) is less intense and it is not like staring at a light bulb for many hours (which may be the case for really bright light screens).

Also it looks professional because of our pals in the printing/paper industry, (that helped shape the computer world) otherwise professional "looking" backgrounds would be much more variable.

Just giving the facts behind your opinions, facts the Perre Needmo way.
