Return to light background

The dark backgrounds look great, but too many programs I use force a
white background, such as the web pages, thunderbird, and so on.
Switching between dark background and light background is quite jarring.
It may be better to find and use decent light background setups for
xterm/vim and ensure the monitor brightness is set appropriately low.
