There also certain areas of endeavour where a light-on-dark theme isn't appropriate. I remember using the superbly pretty Bryce theme on KDE1 back in the early 2000s - but quickly abandoning it because a lot of what I do is print-oriented. If you're designing for print then the "paper" is going to need to be white, so the UI elements had better have similar mean brightness and contrast levels to the representation of the page you're working on.
