Is there any way for changing the "theme" for directory listing is showing?
For example the black background for white background.

Xan.

Yes, there are two options.

1) change the CSS for the default layout via IndexStyle.

2) create your own index via ShowIndex and a XSLT file.

But where is the default CSS and XSLT file?

They don't exist.

So, what is the line of code what says "this is the aspect you have"?

The default style for an directory index is integrated in the HTML output (view the source of an Hiawatha generated directory index). The code responsible for creating this index can be found in target.c :: show_index().

The XSLT file based directory index is build via xslt.c :: show_index_via_xslt(). Hiawatha comes with a example index.xslt. It can be found in etc/hiawatha in the source zipfile or in /etc/hiawatha after installation.

Thanks for answering. Please, consider the possibility of choose theme (as cherokee server do).

I will not implement a Cherokee-like theming. Hiawatha's XSLT feature is far more flexible.
