To prevend watching the whole day into a light (read: a white screen) I like working with a dark background.
Is it posible to have a dark drawing background (black) with white dim’s? And when I’am printing, is it reversing the colors to normal?

You can control many appearances like that. Tools -> Options -> Display/Background (I think, don't have SW open right now). There is a list to the right with different aspects of the program that you can change the colours of.

I know how to change the background color. But what about the dim's color and then the printing color. Is it automaticly reversing?

You can force everything to print in black and white through your printer setup. You can set the dimensions to be white by creating a layer and setting the color on it white or any other color you desire.
