If the font had more weight, it would be easier to see. Those skinny green letters on the black background have such a high contract that they wash out.

Ah - so that is how to do it. But posting the message also shows people that it has been reported so that admin are not overwhelmed!
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

OK... Is it OK to say I preferred it the way it was? You certainly got "more mainframey" spot on, but...

I preferred it the way it was too. The red is difficult to read for my "old" eyes.
