Sorry I don't have the answer, but consider the lighting in your
office.  High contrast colors (like black on white) are best when
ambient lighting in the room is poor.  And low contrast colors (like
what you accidentally have now) are best when ambient lighting in the
room is good.  So you might consider making sure your office is not
too bright or too dark, and make sure there is no glare.

I have the opposite problem.  I'm in a well lit office, so the default
black on white is too much contrast.  I wish there were a setting to
eliminate the white background.
