Actually I agree with you there. I never did understand that negative image theme. Who the hell wants to see photos and icons inverted? When I first bought my iPhone I wanted white text on a black background as it is easier to see in daylight (well it was lol) and I was horrified that Apple offered this as a solution. I also think there should be some high contrast themes on the Mac. This is where ZoomText, Magic and Lunar do a good job.
So you totally get my sympathy there. I presume you have emailed accessibil...@apple.com about this?
