Why are light skins with dark text so rare?
#1
The few skins I can find with dark text on light backround are:

*reFocus BIG (realaska theme, all other 16 themes are dark with light text)
*Aeon Nox (one of the themes is white)
*Alaska Revisited

None of these skins work well on the raspberry pi.

My Panasonic TV and Samsung player both have light themes with dark text. This lighter look is less intimidating for most people and I find dark text on light background much easier to read and less glary. But the XBMC skinning community has good eyesight and an infatuation with cool looking black stuff it seems. Tongue

A light white version of a simple fast skin like Confluence, Amber or Quartz is much needed.

I think the main reason why dark skins are so popular, is because most people are watching their videos with the lights off, and the white themes can be a bit too bright. I tried the Aeon Nox white them and it looks beautiful, but it's just too bright with all the lights off in the room and hurts my eyes after a few minutes.
