25. Funny thing -- "blackle" actually works on LCDs...
It shouldn't -- using a more black screen should take just as much energy on an LCD as a white screen, because it's the backlight that takes all the power.
But as it turns out, the newer LCDs have "backlight scaling" that dims the backlight when it detects high contrast white-on-black being sent to the screen. So even on LCDs switching to a light-on-dark color scheme for your most used webpages will shave a few watts. Not as much as on a CRT or plasma, but...
Maybe when the new DU code gets put in there will be color scheme choices...
