It doesn't look that way on mine.
Since I play some computer games that are very dark, I have set contrast and brightness to the maximum. I'm not against a slightly grained background, but as it is it looks like its nibbling on the text. The body of the pages looks very cleanis, but I dislike the page titles (colours and fonts) and specifically the old fvwm logo - it makes me scream everytime I look at it. It's simply amateurish. As much as I dislike frames, the frame-less site we have looks somewhat like the content is leaking out of the pages. The text lines are too long on some pages. I really like the idea to give the site a 'window' layout with a title bar and a border (perhaps only on the top and the left): +------------------------------------------+ <- screen |+----------------------------------------+| || News | CVS | <FVWM HOME PAGE> | Themes || <- titlebar with |+----------------------------------------+| - left buttons || | - right buttons || General description | - page title || | |+---------------------------------------- | || | || Latest News | || | |+---------------------------------------- | || | || Rest of page | || | ... || | || | +------------------------------------------+ Uwe has a button on his site to switch the page theme. Wouldn't this make a great interactive show-off of some fvwm features? There would be a button to cycle through the available themes with a link to download the theme config to put in your .fvwm2rc :-) > Does cyan look better than pink? > Both look good to me, but the cyan looks a little better. > I'll change it if you like it better.

Plus some very dark blue, cyan and gray tones and light grays, close to white.
