I never thought white on black was hard to read. I'll have to keep that in mind.

I have been researching cameras lately and there is a specific site, VERY good info, but white on black. What a strain it is reading that site. 8-( I must say I went there and read their info, every time, but every time came away cursing the eyestrain. The thing to always remember in building a site is "it isn't what we like that matters", at least in terms of preferences. John W.

Ugh! I will never visit your website. <grin> Charles Wortz Software Development Division Texas Education Agency 1701 N.

Personally I like to stick to black and white, as often as possible. Literally. I use black backgrounds with white text. I just think it sticks out better then black on white. However, something to keep in mind, color is nice, however, a large portion of the population is color blind to a certain extent. Always be sure that places where color is used, and differentiating things of different color is important, to use colors that 'clash' spectrally, so even if someone is seeing it as shades of grey (a severe color blind person), they would still see the difference. That's my only tip......
