For those worried about energy consumption and all its downsides.

When your screen is white, be it an empty Word page, or the Google page,
your computer consumes 74 watts, and when its black it consumes only 59
watts.

Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be
achieved if Google had a black screen, taking into account the huge number
of page views, according to his calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per
year would be saved.

In a response to this article Google created a black version of its
search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the
white version, but with lower energy consumption.

Use it instead of Google as your homepage.
Check it out and you will see how much energy has been saved already.
