As an alternative to changing the background color you may easily change the highlighting colors by altering the file ~/.TeXworks/configuration/syntax-patterns.txt:

dark theme

[LaTeX]
# special characters
orangered               N       [\$#\^_\{\}&]

# LaTeX environments
lightseagreen        N       \\(?:begin|end)\s*\{[^\}]*\}

# LaTeX packages
lightskyblue       N       \\usepackage\s*(?:\[[^\]]*\]\s*)?\{[^\}]*\}

# control sequences
lightsteelblue               N       \\(?:[A-Za-z@]+|.)

# comments
grey                    Y       %.*
