Sure, just set your news program to use a dark background and a light
text.

What? You want to do that to *my* news program?! Well, maybe it can be
done, maybe it can't, but if you try I'll flame you (please note that
image attachments and html coded messages do not belong in a
plain-text-only newsgroup such as this one).

What you can do is either:

1. Put a note in the message saying that the picture is made for a 
   light-on-dark display. Then it's up to anybody who wishes to see
   it to make those changes for themselves, in whatever way is most
   convenient for them.

or:

2. Put the pictures on a web page and post the URL here. Again, you
   give the rest of us a choice.

Hi all.

I have made some ASCII designs, but they were originally done for the IRC
with a black background, can any thing like that be created in the
newsgroup?

in a white background they don't look all that well :-(

'------------------------

Yes, you can post them. A few people on here have light-on-dark displays
anyway, and those that don`t can usually switch to see a picture.
So long as youu don`t use an HTML posting or similar to set a colour, it's
fine... just say 'Best viewed light on dark'.

Hope this helps,
-Martin
