hmmmm. I think we all see color a bit differently, yes ??? Perhaps it is possible to return to the old format with the new logos and stuff...that , I think, would be the best alternative. Earth tones...I'll have to try that. Right now, I have my bg set to match the right column,,,with a mustard text....however, the links are very hard to see, other than the IM messages, which are a bright neon greeen..at least on my screen.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
