OK, thanks for the feedback. This is quite similar
to the sentiment I was forming on this style.

What about the original one, I mean, the one
starting this thread? As I understand it, Dan
tried less colors because there was a lot of
blue and black was easier to read. Maybe it
will be better with some kind of green? I don't
know if it's just me with this impression or
not; a test is attached.

Once we have settled on a scheme, I'll ask
for feedback on the user list.

Cheers,
Jean
