| | Personalization titles colors When I open Personalization, the links on the left column and the titles/links on the right are hardly discernible because I use navy background. (Changing the Unvisited links color in the Internet Options does not affect them.) How do I make them light blue? emf -- It ain't THAT, babe! - A radical reinterpretation http://www.geocities.com/itaintme_babe/itaintme.html |

Where do they get their blue color from? Are the 29 keywords that accept colors that are included in the theme file the only ones available? emf -- It ain't THAT, babe! - A radical reinterpretation http://www.geocities.com/itaintme_babe/itaintme.html |

In addition to affecting these links, it also affects the highlight color, which is another very welcome development. Straight blue (255 0 0) looks much better here!
