Honestly, I don't like it. I prefer the black background. The fact that I can't change it bothers me. I never changed the settings from default because I prefered the dark settings. I feel it makes my images look better on the page. My personal web site has a black background for the same reason. I like the new logo, I can deal with the dropdown menus (though I do not prefer them), I may even tolerate the bland menu background, but the grey main background is hard on the eyes. I feel it destracts from the art on the site and I basically just don't care for it. The fact that now I am forced to view the site with this scheme truely is upsetting. I would much prefer to have the option to set my own colors back to the black background with white text. Maybe its because I was weaned on DOS. Magick Michael AKA zhounder
