yes!! eehhh sunglasses could do the trick..or is it just because of new years eve last night??? Idunno...k´back to zzzz..LOL

Fencer, I do not "personally" have a problem with the brightness.. some of the people I play (or HAVE played) apparently have some kind of eye problems where a bright screen tends to hurt in some way, like give headaches, burn, make them squint, go crosseyed, I don't know, but it IS bright and must be bright enough to keep people from coming on to play cuz I just got another win by defalt (and you know that's not right).. also some people may not be able to make screen ajustments, enough to compensate without character component distortion.. my latest loss online was "mogal", and I'm talking about a "friend" here, not the game.. Now just wondering, is there a lot involved to implement a choice of color or different shade backgrounds..? Sorry Fencer, I'm not trying to sound rude, just trying to explain the best I can.. Everyone knows you work very hard on this site.. :-))

He did say (i think on this board) that if you go to your settings page, there is a darker colour scheme (with a grey background instead of white).

I DID say I "personally" don't have the problem..

I have to agree about the brightness but I am on a webtv and my screen is 32 inches so it's somewhat bigger to look at. But as Kevin said....or meant...that "anyone" can go to the settings page and change the background color. If it's that big of a problem then maybe he could make the main background color as gray and white as change instead of vice-versa. Maybe that would help to solve the problem.
