Light Gray on White Background For a few years I've noticed that the new style is a light gray text on a bright white background. I guess it is energy-saving option, but it is quite hard on the eyes.

Very nice. Being thoroughly middle-aged, I despise the 20-something design fascists that declare that 0xE0E0E0 is the new 0x000000.

Ah, Lucky Man, to be still there ! How to know when you are past middle-aged: look in the rear-view mirror; if you don't see your rear, you are there. cheers, Bill

I wish I were still middle aged!!!but then again, I get to drawa pension and take withdrawals from my retirement savings without actually working. My wife and I are planning a month vacation in Bolivia in December and January. The main purpose is to decide if we will retire there now or later. Getting old does have advantages, if you can survive!!
