The inverted theme is sort of the standard for low vision.

It’s similar to right-handed to left-handed ratio. Many scientific experiments indicate that black letters on white is easier for the majority (it’s not random that Google, Wikipedia, MS, Intel, AMD, Amazon use that scheme for their websites). Anyway, our eyes are not optimized to read actually and poor vision complicates matters even more. Myself, I find black on white more natural and easy to read; trying the white on black now on Hanlin and letters appear to lose visibility, like slayda mentioned the apparent shrinking of the white letters is quite perceptible. Anyhow, we can’t have a solution that fits all, some find easier the white on black but apparently the inverse way is more “natural”.
