I wanted to keep the stats so a fixed image won't help.
I never used those stats, what does it look like, is it a box of fixed size?

ScreenSaver does support transparency in the images it displays, so you could produce an image that is black except for that box region, the box itself would stay white then I guess. And you'd have to come up with a way to produce a working pattern for that stat screen, not sure if these stats cause the "Sleeping" message to appear in a different place, thus breaking the pattern ScreenSaver produces for the blank screen...

Otherwise I don't know of an existing mod for this, you have to create your own.

Inverting the screen shouldn't be too hard (it's a feature of the eink driver, just set inverted flag in the ioctl, that's what nightmode does). You'd have to find a way to fire it only when actually going to sleep, my ScreenSaver addon detects this in a roundabout way, there's another screensaver originally for the Glo which uses LD_PRELOAD hack same as nightmode.
