POLL: Should V7 be dark-on-white or light-on-black?

[TerranRich]

In my quest to come up with the best design for Xylot Themes V7, I have been operating under the assumption that the new site would have a dark background with light text and elements (buttons, etc.) over it.

But now I'm starting to question that, especially since a large majority of designs, templates, widgets, and so forth are dark-on-light (dark text and elements over a light/white background).

Here is an example of dark-on-light that might fit V7, with a few changes (colors, layout, images, etc.): https://colorlib.com/demo?theme=listing

Here is an example of light-on-dark that might fit V7 (my current styleguide for experimentation): http://v7.xylotthemes.com/styleguide/

So...what do you think?

Dark background please & thank you Sir Richard.

[Hernan]

I'll go with the light one.

Dark background please & thank you Sir Richard.

I voted for the dark background too.
Richard, Would it be possible to have both options on the site?

[TerranRich]

Yes, eventually, Eddie. However, when designing the site, planning the layout, etc. it's best to have just one color scheme to work with initially.

I'm leaning toward dark background, too, but I wanted to make sure people didn't prefer a light background. So far, light background is winning though...

Welcome to reality.

I prefer the second option (light-on-dark).
