The next version of Notepad++ introduces a new function that should resemble what you want: change only the default background color and all the other styles will follow, but with a possible override (like for example javascript in HTML).
Just sit tight and hold on :)

I have my own custom one in black that I edited and tried as best as I could to inverse all the other colors. I'd email it to the developer but I cant find his email address.
my black theme isnt perfect but I'd welcome any help on getting it working just right

I emailed Don the XML file I edited. Its not 100% perfect but maybe he can improve it or make a way for others here to improve it.
I'd post the code here but the sourceforge forums dont really show code properly. If anything I may link to my own forums with the XML file and allow others to give their input or improvements on it and maybe then we will have a really good black background theme. :)

I know its been a long time, but that XML style code would be pretty awsome to have. Changing to a default black background is kind of a pain in the butt (not that im complaining, notepad++ rocks!).
If you could put a link to it somewhere on the website (or a place for other themes), im sure other users would be appreciative!

I was frustrated by lack of a concept of a default foreground and background color that you could globally change and would carry through all languages. In particular I want the default background to be black and the default foreground to be white.
I did however find a solution.
1. open %appdata%\Notepad++\stylers.xml in notepad++
2. ctrl+h to search and replace
3. replace: bgColor="FFFFFF" with bgColor="000000"
4. replace: fgColor="000000" with fgColor="FFFFFF"
5. save the file.
6. close and reopen notepad++
I try to change the background's color to black. But I can't change the white lines in the background of the words.
Any suggestions?

Ok, well like I said I emailed the author the modified stylers.xml but never got a response, so I uploaded it here:
