The problem with both of these is that the text is displayed in white letters on a very light grey background, and I have reached an age that I can't tell what's there. I would prefer either black text on white background, or white text on a black background. Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Am I hallucinating?
I could swear that before yesterday, the standard email app (not Gmail), showed black text on a white background. Now it's white text on a black background. I haven't [knowingly] installed any updates to either the app or to the system. And I can't find any settings to change the color scheme.
Has it always been white on black? What color scheme is your email?

I am having trouble with my colorscheme in vim. When editing a file using a vim session started in GNU screen, the text background is not rendered correctly. In a session outside screen, the entire background is gray (how it should be). For a vim window inside screen, only the background directly behind the text appears gray.
Okay, everyone knows that fun little guitar playing dude. Well I learned a valuable lesson today, Do NOT use a black background when viewing posts with him in it. Now the reason I use black backgrounds with white text is because the default view is too bright on my monitor. So I use NoSquint with Firefox & change the background color/text color.
How do you change the text color on the panel? I've changed the conky color to black for a lighter background but the time/date text in the upper right hand corner is still gray and you can't see it. Is there a way to change that to black of other dark shade?running #! 20111125 64bit. it runs GREAT!
