Thank you, I use, the same as Duncan, a dark background (#474747) in four separate distributions. This sort of corresponds to the 70% gray used in Black and White photograpy. A number of other colors do have to be changed tho, for readability. If you remember (and I am sure you do) I use the old color scheme of brite green on black or dark Gray, in Firefox when reading text and html Sci-fi books I have picked up over the years, Much easier on these 65 yo eyes, than black on white. bob _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
