I can't see the scrollbar...can't read the username scroll on the bottom of the forum page, the thin white text is making my eyes BUGGY Even a very dark grey (charcoal?) would help & still look cool.

My main issue, is if I change the side bar, it will change some of the inner boarders as well, which will look strange.
If I change the black background and make it lighter, the darker gray boarders here around the text you are reading will get washed out.
Also, the cool blending of the pictures into the background will no longer occur if the background color is changed.
Honestly, part of the reason I choose the black theme was because it is very bedroom friendly to my better half late at night if I choose to spy on the forum while she is sleeping
But seriously... I want to have some feedback here.

My monitor and my eyes share these traits: They're both getting dimmer and fuzzier with age and I'm too stubborn...or vain...to get glasses It's no biggie, really. I didn't realise the 'look' was so integrated that changing one property would mess with the others. The scrollbar is completely invisible on my monitor but I try not to grab the mouse so much anyway (I prefer keyboard shortcuts). Upping the font size one notch would be VERY helpful.

Okay, I'll see what I can do soon.
At least get a new monitor if not glasses!

1st thing I noticed was I could barely see the scroll bar + the 3 pictures at top are blurry and washed into the background. I have viewed this site from 4 separate PCs now, and for my taste more contrast is needed between light & dark colors to separate background from everything else you need to navigate and view graphics.
