the colors are really difficult, the text doesn't contrast with the background very well at all!
May I ask that you check your monitors settings. Over here at the graphics team we work with calibrated monitors (following international ICC standards) and I can assure you that the text and the background have a good contrast and don´t merge or so. It was maybe difficult with the darker grey used before, but that has been changed.

Oh, I think I've seen it before...it's just the rendering here that looks strange...you lose the effect of him falling from a gunshot wound due to the fact you cannot see the lower torso...the image as rendered just looks like a soldier standing there levitating a rifle.....just my meager opinion :)

The Black on Gray is readible, but the Black on OD is not. I'm using Netscape btw. My eyes are straining...

The infantry doesn't change. We're the only arm of the military where the weapon is the man himself.

Hmmm, curious. I just checked the boards with NS, I don´t see any OD (if he really means olive drab) here ;)

Very sombre, very gloomy, very European. I like it.

But it will destroy my eyesight.

I like the new 'look' It's clean. The gamma on my monitor is dark - I know that I need to fix it, but the contrast is fine by me - and my eyesight is far from perfect!

I'm essentially graphically and history oriented, unfortunately to connect the two I have to do maths. I hate maths.

Here I thought it was my monitor. I suppose we will all get used to it in time.
