Yep - after a long day dark instead of light backgrounds are much less
strain for me.

Depends somewhat on what else you've put in your personal settings
file, myLeoSettings.leo.

First thing I would try is use Settings -> Open Personal Settings to
open myLeoSettings.leo (that will create a minimalist one for you if
needed) and also open (your path to Leo)/leo/config/themes.leo.  Copy
the node "leo_dark theme 0" from themes.leo to myLeoSettings.leo under
the '@settings' node in myLeoSettings.leo.

Trying it just now I then had to save myLeoSettings.leo and restart
Leo, maybe because myLeoSettings.leo didn't exist when I started,
you're supposed to be able to just use Settings -> Reload Styles rather
than restarting.

That worked for me just now, although dark themes are tricky to
integrate with the rest of the desktop I've found.  In fact I just
switched from XFCE to Kubuntu for the latter's easier dark theming.
