Please check out the new Light Gray/White Style under your User CP - Options. Do you like this better than the Dark Gray/Gray? I can make the light one the default if you wish.
Without trying to open a can of worms - have a look at this forum and see what you think on the colour scheme. I think the contrast between posts on the grey/white is a lot better. What seems to make this board easy to read is that there are no dark grey bars between the posts - see what you think! http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=45618 Paul
