IIRC your problem with the current color scheme was fuzzy contrast on your monitor. A technical issue, similar OTOH to high contrast headaches.
Everything appears okay on my current one. The one that I had a few years ago had grown dim and reddish.
AFAIR long ago people preferred the current scheme over presented alternatives, despite the low contrast issue being acknowledged. I assume a trade off for aesthetics.
Part of it is that I would look around to see what people were saying about dillo, and there would be comments that the dillo developers must be colorblind. And part of it is that, after changing monitors, I particularly haven't liked the purple.
As aesthetics is a matter of personal taste, I've prepared a couple of alternatives with better contrast palette:
http://www.dillo.org/test/dillo2.tmp1.html http://www.dillo.org/test/dillo2.tmp2.html
I like both over "dillo2.html".
I like tmp1 for its lively colors (though "waterish"), and also like tmp2 for its more integrated "airish" palette (a bit "serious" too).
I looked around the web a little bit at the time with firefox to see what the style of the day is, and there seemed to be a lot of whites and pale grays and pale blues.
PS I wonder about the anybrowser gif in the sidebar. It screams 1996 to me.
It can be replaced with something better.
Let's see... A couple that appeal to me are: http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/bvgraphics/anyb02.png http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/bvgraphics/abblue.gif
