Have you tried using a dark theme?

Invert the colors to a light text on a dark background.
I can only speak from my own, admittedly alien culture. It was a fashion, born from an attempt to render such devices in a more familiar manner, to render much of the display elements as dark elements on a white field, mimicking the appearance of black pigment stain upon a bleached literary sheet, if you excuse my vernacular.
The problem, then, is that the displays these devices use operate the opposite manner, glowing from their own phosphorescence. You are staring into a light, attempting to pick out dark spots, and for humans, this is also the exact opposite of how our eyes behave. We were born to pick out the points of light amongst a sea of darkness. And so, from very early on, facilities were put into place to allow the inversion of colors, changing light to dark, and vice versa. Much like brightly colored chalk, upon an abyssally black slate. This is, understandably, much easier on the viewer's eyes.
And humans are diurnal. I can only imagine the irritation that a nocturnal people like Alternians must make of it.
