This is simple and very nice. In some lighting conditions, "night mode" (white text on dark grey) is easier to read or at least gives my eyes a needed break for a few minutes. Now, I have a button on my Windows 7 taskbar which switches to "Night Mode." Note that these directions might be slightly different for Windows Vista and would be completely different for Windows XP.
Regular mode:
"Night Mode":
Directions:
Windows "Aero" must be enabled. Also, "Magnifier" - a standard Windows feature - must be installed. Unless you have specifically disabled these, both should be enabled already.
And there it is...a Night Mode button. The easiest way to return to regular mode is to right-click the Magnifier button on your taskbar and click "Close Window" in the menu that appears.
Now that I have this button up, I use it frequently, even for reading things on the Internet. Hope at least someone finds it as useful as I have.
Blessings,
Pete
Thanks Peter. I thought Logos was 'bullet-proof' (appearance). Didn't know about this. Also slows battery drain.

Peter Keay:Windows "Aero" must be enabled.
Magnifier works on Windows 7 with Windows Classic color personalization.
Personally experienced automatic resizing if tried to use Magnifier with Logos maximized and have Magnifier invert the entire screen (snaps to fill screen, then resizes windows on desktop to smallish band along the bottom).

Right, but if you don't want the "band", you need to enable Aero :)
Hmm perhaps they can add this feature into L4 itself?

That would probably leave the menu bars and such un-inverted and so leave bright elements on the screen, so I think I'm content with the way it is :)

Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-8. (You might need to turn it on in Preferences first).
EDIT: This is with a Swedish UI, but some googling indicates that it should be the same with the American UI.

Nice! Works great! Thanks-
I also found a free Mac app called Nocturne here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24898/nocturne It allows you to adjust from white to gray scale if the white on black is too harsh on the eyes. It also allows for color inversion and black and white. Pretty cool for reading in the dark.
thanks Peter Keay you are a life saver
Thank you Peter. That was quick and easy.
