Good idea, how's that look?

nice
Well, there is a tiny localization problem since the italian version
shows "messaggios" (misspelled italian for messages). And Just now I
realized it should have been "commenti". But really nothing important

Keep 'em coming

thanks again

Howdy -

Eero Saynatkari has been working on a couple new RubyForge themes; you
can get an idea where he's going with them here:

This one is completely unreadable because it has wrong colors

and here:
http://support.rubyforge.org/themes/blue/

This one gets the colors right (probably because it is the inversion of
default IE colors so it has to change them all) but the colors are not
easy to read and the font is way too small.
I set the browser default font size to something that is readable
but not huge and try to avoid sites that use smaller letters.

I like the idea of dark background but it must be done right so that the
text is easily readable.

Thanks

The pervasive brick-red text and trim makes everything blend together.
It looks clean, to be sure, but I'd prefer some cooler colors.

and here:

White text on dark backgrounds hurts my eyes before too long.
The white text on almost-white-but-sort-of-blue is nearly invisible.

In general: Use dark text on light background. Save warm coolers for
specific items of importance. Don't feel compelled to use red everywhere.
