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?

Regards,
Dominic
