Am I the only person whose eyes get tired reading black-on-white
documents on screen all day?

If not, is there any viewer program that will invert the colors for me
on screen, preferably to gree-on-black?

(Or any gv hackers out there who need a project to do :-) )

You can do it yourself. Add

GV*Ghostview.background: black
GV*Ghostview.foreground: green

to your .Xdefaults or .gv.

Not me: not on paper, not on screen. have you reached the limits of
adjusting you monitor? Many I see *are* painfully bright, I wouldn't
use them as is.
