Any way to get a black background before a web page is loaded?

Meizuman · Jul 28, 2010

So, this isn't of course an issue when working on well lit workplace and/or the connection is fast. But I for one, think that it is really annoying when surfing late at night and a white screen blasts to my face when clicking a link. Of course thats not the case all the time but enough to irritate. So, is there any way I could get a browser to show a black background before the page has loaded? :wtf:

Hmm... Should try and look if Opera has a skin like that.

At least on FireFox you can by using this setting:

I would also recommend the use of GoogleBlack Addon for FireFox.

EDIT:
Taken from http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/personalize/content/:

Fonts and colors for unstyled Web pages

Sometimes, Web pages do not have a specified style for fonts, background color, or link colors. We have selected some default fonts and colors for you, but you may prefer to choose your own. To do this, select Settings > Preferences > Web pages and select your preferred fonts, background color, or colors for normal and visited links. You can also enable or disable an underline for links.

You can do the same thing in Opera, its in Preferences, on the Web pages tab

He want's to use Opera obviously, I see no need to try push him in any other direction when he is happy with what he has, he is simply wanting help finding a right skin for his software, not advice on which is better for his situation.
