No... It does work... I m using the W960 theme with my P990 and the battery lasts for a bit longer and its easily noticible...
Animations in a theme will drain more power, but this is related to processor usage, not the colours used.

I very often go for camping, thus sometimes extra battery, is crucial...
When i am in town i never have a problem with battery, and i suppose no one should have...

When the screen is illuminated by a backlight, like in LED screens, I would say that a black theme consumes somewhat more power than a bright one, since the light will be there all the time, only that it is masked off by the pixels that are activated on the screen. If co current runs through the pixel, it's transparent, otherwise it becomes coloured. For a TFT display, it's the opposite, since it is the pixel itself that emits the light.

I was going to say this too!
The black theme thing is rubbish, as power is needed to turn all the pixels on to mask the backlight, whereas a white background all the pixels are off (no power) to let the white backlight through.

Black have short of code character length in hex or rgb. Maybe it will affect gui drawing speed
