Heh... I'll be the third person to mention a preference for a non-white background.... ;)
It still seems to be white for me as well. I use a dark-gray colour as default background, but I switched back to the default FF colors, then went to the Geany site. It was a brilliant white.... :(
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and FF 3.6
Maybe try a dark gray?
Here's the fourth one. I'm using Firefox 3 with KDE 3.5.4 on Slackware 12 with Gtk colour adjustment off.
To make sure what we are talking about I made a screenshot and uploaded it at [1]. I actually changed the content area containing the text (the welcome message on the screenshot) from white to a light gray in hope it won't hurt your eyes that much when reading the text. Accordingly I changed the navigation sidebar on the left and the site header containing the Geany icon and the search field to a darker gray so the percentage between content area and sidebar/header stays the same.
Do you also wish the padding areas on the left and right to be changed to something darker?
Yes, that would be great. Something a lot darker. Padding area is just for ... well, padding ;) Since there are no "live" colors on the page, something needs to create contrast between padding and content. Try changing body background color to #9c9c9c for example to see what I mean:
body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; background-color:#9c9c9c; margin:0px; }
If you use Firebug or WebDeveloper extension in Firefox you can easily change this with Edit CSS or similar option and try it out "online" without changing the actual CSS file.
