Easier on the eyes

just a suggestion to forum admin maybe changeing the background on the forum to something not so tough on the eyes the stark white background. Is just a little hard on the old eyes I find myself with a bit of a headache after reading 15 or 20 post maybe a lt blue or a green anything but bold white ..............................well just a thought

Good suggestion. I've now added a less bright light gray style and style chooser dropdown at the bottom left of the page. I also added a blue green style, though I fear the colors may still need some work...

In this vain I've often had trouble with the contrast and have found if the text is dark blue rather then black it's much easier on the eyes.

The gray is a big improvement . . .

never noticed it before - but you're right, the both the grey and blue/green are easier on the eyes. Just when you think this place can't get any better.....

Thanks Will, as always!

I've also added a "Gray Blue" version with "bluer" text.
