Guess I'm one of those BLINDIES who complained about the color on color. Not all of us are blessed with perfect vision. We can't help our problems. Even the docs can only do so much for us. I love FR and want the best for all of us.

A very LIGHT GRAY with real DARK blue print wouldn't come amiss. to make the changes you suggest. LOVE the bigger fonts. Cause even with tri-focals I have problems seeing size 8 pica. Stronger lenses won't fixt the problems either, and I'm years away from cataract surgery so I'm told.

Can you not see Townhall.com? What about NewsMax.com? It has a blue navigation panel. FR is now the only site that does white on white, except for little johnny's first website on geocities.

Those having difficulty seeing a particular color scheme should use Opera, instead of Internet Explorer. Opera has a couple of buttons that (1) turn off color and graphics, leaving a plain black and white text, and (2) turn off the web sites fonts, reverting to the local users fonts. I find that perhaps 10% of the sites I visit are easier to read with one or the other of these options. Opera runs well on both Linux and Windows.

It might seem like I'm being a cold hearted, mean spirited Republican suggesting that those of us with vision limitations should adapt to the site, rather than the site adapt to fit all. But that is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put. Those who find the visual fine tuning useful will find Opera useful on all sites, so should have it handy anyway. And the vast majority of Freepers will enjoy the more visually pleasing use of moderate color, such as in the background of the sidebar.

Slavish efforts to please all will please none, and resemble nothing more than the Political Correctness that we struggle against daily.
