Try going to display - appearance - advanced and there is a drop down list
for lots of items. You can change the colours of backgrounds, fonts etc
for all these items. I avoid using a completely black background and white
text as I have also had the problem of black text on a black background.
You could try a dull green background and yellow text. I usually save the
current theme first so that if things go wrong, I can return to the
original theme.
