It did, and when the migraine receeds I'll be able to function again.
Thinking? hmm dangerous that.

Don't say it cannot be done, rather what is needed to do it!

FWIW, if it were mine...
I'd make the green lighter, more like the colour of the original SI - what
was that called?
There are 2 aspects to consider - colour clashes and contrast. The worst
colour clash is red and purple or blue - different wavelengths make for
different focal lengths. Your red and green is not quite so bad and orange
and green would be better still.
Contrast is best judged by turning the colour down on the monitor (if
possible) or by taking a screenshot and converting it to greyscale.
like this...

which is the page mentioned above. A lighter green for the background would
improve the contrast for the black text as well. darker green and yellow
text would be nice and contrasty - perosnally, I find dark text on light
easier than light text on dark, though.

has a few variations on colours which I think work OK.

Do you have Opera there?
I just switch style to user mode whenever I need to look at that site.
view --> style --> user mode
Alternatively, select-all usually presents the text in a readable manner.

yes, but I don't use it, as Mozilla suits me better - notably, the different
user profiles. 'course, Opera may do that too by now. I've never really
placed much credence in the much-vaunted speed of Opera, and I'm not so keen
on the look and feel.
