Colour inversion (accessibility)

Beginner

Hi there,

I'm a linux user, and I have issues with my vision - I find bright lights very unpleasant, causing killer headaches amongst other things. On my mac laptop (um, please don't hate me? *grins*) there is a feature where I can invert the colours, which makes for a vastly easier reading experience. I was wondering if there was a way to do this using KDE (or X, or at whatever level, really)? If so, I have not discovered it yet, but it would be an enormous help to myself and others. I'm using the themes to change the window colors etc to ones I find easier to deal with, but that does not help with applications over which I have less control, like web browsers, word processors, etc. Blanket inversion would be better, if it is possible! If it is not possible, is there any way to make it a feature request?

I'm new to KDE, and I've otherwise been really enjoying the experience - thank you for your hard work
