Whiteness

[poliphilo]

A couple of my friends have complained about the new LJ friends page. They say the whiteness hurts their eyes. I don't exactly have that problem, but I do think the new look is uglier and- well- less friendly than the old design. I like the blue background. It's restful. For as long as it remains available to me (do I enjoy that option because I've got a permanent account?) I'll be choosing to revert to it.

I haven't noticed any changes, but I read LJ via my friends page and I have that set to be in my own style -- which happens to have a white background because that's how I like it! :)

My particular loathing is dark text on a dark background because it's extraordinarily difficult to read.

Pale text on a coloured background can be pretty devilish too.
