We shall compromise, you are not the first to make that comment. I just do not like the original text color, I find it drab and not clearly defined.

I switched over the "Elegant" theme, it has a white background and much easier, you may want to try that. Awards

Perhaps if I try a Red it will work on both? Although Red looks angry. Maybe Orange? I certainly see why White does not work with Elegant. Had a hell of a hunt to find where to change theme.
