The 'photo negative' is the main reason I didn't like it since everyone is used to the PSK-31 waterfalls that usually have a dark background and a lighter signal trace. It's possible that TT tried the dark background, but for some reason it didn't show right on the screen. Also, the old version had a problem with both the sweep and the S-meter freezing when you were tuning. They un-froze when you stopped, but it was annoying I guess they went 'back to basics' and opted for something that was unconditionally stable for now.

I suppose it's a matter of taste. I liked the waterfall display, but
I would have preferred it to be a photo negative of what was
implemented: no signal is dark while signal is light. Still, I look
forward to when it is again included.

No, it does not.  In the original incarnation, it never really worked the
way it was intended so it was taken out.  It may rise again if there is
enough interest, but I have to admit, while it was an option, I never really
warmed up to it, although some folks apparently did.
