I am epileptic. I find a mass of white light very aggravating. This problem is less with LCD with less flicker, but my tendency to attacks during extended sessions in front of the computer is less when I use a black background. In my situation, I have always used a background that is black.
I have been on white on black in windows, but since converting to OS X I have not found a suitable alternative.
I hope Apple will squarely address this for us epileptics, if only to allow us to remain on computers for longer periods.
