Slynky - I did that about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I just thought old Albert was looking a little too old. Out of all of the choices I had to pick from the Avatar Emporium, I chose John Wayne, as he's my favorite actor.

Loser - I'll try that the next time I'm on there. The way it is now, it's just too hard on my ole peepers.

Setting up the website so that people can pick their own colors is possible, but kind of hard.

What would be easier would be just changing the colors accross the board. Does someone have a suggestion that would make it easier to read but work with the current fonts and format and wouldn't turn off as many people as it would please?

Actually, setting a website up that way in the first place is fairly easy. What is hard is going and converting a website with static colors to have dynamic colors (such as in the case of PBW), which can be a huge PITA.

You could use alternate style sheets. People with Mozilla type browsers could then choose which one they want to use. Assuming that PBW uses CSS, of course.

PBW does use CSS but I know next to nothing about them. Laz set it all up and he's not available any more. Is it somethign that can be setup to work compatible with IE, or can only Mozilla browsers do the switching thing?

It doesn't have to dynamic, just a color that's easier to read. Change it from dark blue to a lighter blue.

What happened to LAZ?

Also for a good color sceme you should check out Tribes 2 interface. Light greens and blues. Very nice to look at and easy to read.

You can buy a copy of Tribes 2 from www.amazon.com A shameless plug I know.

IE will just use the primary style sheet file(s). It does not support alternates, but will still display pages fine if they are defined.
