I also use a dark style sometimes, especially if I work at night. ;)

I found that using QtCurve it is quite easy to make all Qt and Gtk applications look nice and dark. For firefox I baked my own little darkening style which may be used with the Stylish addon (see below). It is not very fancy but makes most sites look quite similar to the "original" white look. My first problem is with sites like google.com who use an image with a hardcoded white background. I cannot get that away.

The second problem is with Java applications as they do not respect the colour settings of the window manager by default. However you can

$ echo 'swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' > /opt/java/jre/lib/swing.properties

which should make all Java applications use Gtk as their default look and feel (and thus respect the Gtk colour settings).

Best greetings!
