yah, i don't have a problem with the color of the background.... just if the other colors were of a higher contrast to it, it'd be a lot betterr.

and i realize some of what i said may just be personal preference, but surely I'm not the only one that doesn't like the buttons being indescernable nor the color of the text in a new post (yellow -- though in a quick reply it's white, which is much better/easier to read)... am I?
