>>After all this, I've just gone over to my webmail page and I can't bear the all white pages and garish blue highlights provided by Yahoo. That's why I rejected webpage colours in the first place! SO I'll have to go back to that setting again. Of course, this still means that one can't see the login etc. buttons, or background images in panels if one rejects webpage colours on the UT (and, indeed, I presume, on any other webpage).

I personally think this setting should not be there as it causes a lot of problems and confusion to the users and makes the users believe that some Web sites are not working properly.

I guess that most people are happy with white backgrounds. I rarely see anyone else's i/f where thye've bothered to change it, either on the web or using windows apps, such as Word. I discovered way back back in the 80s, when I first got a pc, moving from green-on-black phosphor screens to more realistic, paper-like black on white, I was getting head-aches at the end of the day. I changed my colours and the head-aches ceased; I've kept it that way ever since.

I figured that perceiving white screens meant that all 3 colour guns are firing at full pace, producing the white, therefore maximum light radiation.

Tant pis!
