Paper is reflective, and ink absorbs light - the opposite of a screen, where the background is dark and the text emits light. You do know green is a primary colour, right? I'm not saying you're wrong to want a light background and dark text, but there are good reasons for why a screen defaults to the opposite of paper. (And defaults don't work for everybody :-) Cheers, Wol (The three *subtractive* primaries are the well-known red, yellow and blue. The three *additive* primaries are red, *green* and blue. Probably (one of) the reasons why old terminals were "green screen".)
