The HTML form of the documents (on python.org) seem fine (dark text on a light background, with a 'light blue on dark blue' sidebar). I was guessing that the .CHM was intended to have the same style, and therefore there was a problem with either my viwer, or with the conversion. Is this not the case then? I've just checked using xchm, and this displays OK - but I don't think it's taking any notice of any styles. FWIW I'm running 4.0-r1; there is a later release but it's not yet available for my Gentoo distribution. Can you point me at any references to this bug in the Python release world please?
