I have had this discussion with several designers and non-designers alike. There is a "cool" factor to light text on a dark background. However, I always feel that it is a much less professional presentation. It would take the right kind of company to pull it off. >From a usability/readability perspective, The good folks at Iconic Sans did a very interesting post/experiment that hit the nail right on the head. Check it out: http://www.ironicsans.com/owmyeyes/ If your eyes are burning and sore after trying to read that white text on black background, your eyes are stronger than mine. For lots of text, I say go with the standard, dark foreground, light background. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
