Yeah, sorry, that figure only refers to CRT monitors (and even then, it's only a maximum of 20%). LCD monitors are actually marginally more efficient when displaying a bright screen as opposed to a dark one.

I would greatly appreciate a darker background. My eyes start hurting and I get headaches whenever I spend too much time on the forums. It helps when I crank my gamma and contrast down all the way, but then I develop bat eyes and when my mom walks in and flicks on the light, my eyeballs melt. :(

You'd be doing the environment a favour too; a monitor displaying black uses about 20% less energy than one displaying white.

I like!
But unfortunately it's missing most of the functionality of Google (Images, products, gmail, etc.)
If only Google would let you set it as your Google/Gmail theme...

strange I see a totally different layout, i got a cream background with blue patches where the forum boxes are. Pointless posting a picture of it cos you'll see it as black and white.:weird: :weird:
While LCD monitors cost 200% more energy to make than a crt monitor, so LCD monitors are destroying the enviornment, thats if there is any environment to destroy and not gobbledegook.

Nameless Voice's option comes closest to what I'd like to see.

That looks very good so far. :)
I can easily read the text there without needing to highlight it, which is the reason I made the request in the first place. :cool:

The logo still sucks though. And who chose these colors? I can't even name all shades of lavender-lesbian-lilac this site is covered in. And I'm pretty sure it's not websafe either.
Does anyone know enough JS to write a Greasemonkey script that inverts the colors?
