- But as far as I know, due to the way LCD screens work, a "white" pixel
- is the normal mode, i.e., it's the natural state of the display material.
- To create "black" and other shades, the material cell has to be twisted
- through the use of an electric current. So I think it *is* a bad idea
- to make your screen background black.

- Just my 2 yen, whatever.
