8. For some reason, IE doesn't override the colors like it claims to.
I'm sorry. Firefox is what I made the screenshot with.

6. Here you go:
In Firefox:

Go to Tools:Options
Click on Colors...
Change the background color to the color of your choosing (even seafoam)
UNCheck 'use system colors' and 'allow pages to choose their own colors...'
Click OK, then OK again.
Reload the Page.
Enjoy

In IE: (may or may not work, I am working on it)
Go to Tools:Internet Options
Click on Colors...
UNCheck 'Use Windows Colors'
Choose your background color.
Click OK
Click Accessibility
Click 'Ignore Colors specified on Web Pages'
Click OK
Click OK again
Reload
Enjoy

7. Hi ChoralScholar!
Thats neat. I didn't see :eyes: "allow pages to choose their own colors". Though I do like ultra light yellow..knocks off the white glow in my room.

10. That's really cool. Reminds me of my old Apple
Witht the green screen monitor to "help ease eye strain." The one that was supposed to be for my dad's accounting and the kids' schoolwork, but was really mostly for Wizardry.
