Thanks mstegink
I don’t favor grey type because even though I use very hi-res monitors, my 50+ yr old eyes find it tiring to read. As I get older I am more sympathetic to the needs of people with weaker faculties.
That darn search box was a problem before, I’ll have to ask my Mac buddy about it. Konquerer *should* render it the same as Safari but maybe not.
I believe we can thank Wired for a variety of unreadable type&color combinations, but that’s just my 2 cents. :>)
