@alejandro

You can download the JS file and modify and put it on your own server.

In JS file you can easily find the text, just make sure you only modify the text part not the code.

What was true in 2002 is not necessarily true today. The dominant monitor at that time was the CRT, and the claim would remain true if that had stayed the course, however LCD monitors have since taken over – being backlit, they do not save illumination energy, and if you’ve read the research papers, the energy loss occuring to create a black screen is higher than a white screen (voltage applied to twist the polymer to blackout the light).

By all means, offer such solutions, but ensure that you inform your readers:
- what technology it will save energy with;
- your sources for your quotes regarding energy savings; and
- caveats/limitations of your claims.

Unless all of your visitors are using OLED screens, you’re not saving any power by doing this.

LCD screens use more power to display a black screen, and the cycles you’re using to show/hide it would probably use more power that it saves.

I can also see this being incredibly annoying when you’re trying to read a long article.

Should have been “The wast majority of screens are now LCD based”

The wast majority of screens are not LCD based. LCDs are constantly back lit and thus a black screen saves nothing, sometimes it even draws slightly more.
