Exactly what I said. Whenever you set only one colour, you're asking for 
trouble. BTW, such a colour sheme is one of the *stock* out of the box, 
shemes provided by m$ windows since W95, at least!!! Black background is 
great if you are stuck with some crapy old monitor that can't go over 50 
Hz or 80 Hz interlaced (80 half screens/s.), as my first one. It greatly 
reduce the flicker, with a white background, you need 70 Hz or more to 
get rid of flickering.
