   Hi Wilfred,

   Not really, but I'd prefer a somewhat less colourful scheme. Some of the texts   
   are hard to read for me, like e.g. grey on green (Summer), white on light grey   
   (Winter) or dark blue on light blue (Marine). I suppose they worked fine with   
   CRT screens...   
      
   Anyway, nevermind, I can live with it. Just wanted to know if I was missing   
   something.
