Texting app?

[pappy53]

I am still trying to learn IOS, as I came from Android. My question is: is there a way to change the background to black, and text to white on the stock texting app? My eyes are not good anymore, and that color combo sure helps. If not, and I jailbreak, are there any JB apps that do this?
Also, if I jailbreak, which one is best to use, Redsnow or Absinthe?

Yes, in the "Accessibility" options under "General." You can also enlarge text. "White on Black" though, changes everything to white on black and messes up the colors.
