Matt:

Thanks. I am a geezer of 52. The thing is when you are on the computer all day, every day, your eyes get tired. I have never understood websites that have dark backgrounds with text over it. Just insane.

Yahoo used to have a very dark gray background that you had to type against. They converted that to white (like this one) and then when you read the posts, the gray was lighter and the text was bold. Obviously, they eventually figured it out.

I think the key to the PM's is that as long as there is color it will jolt your memory that you are sending a PM and if you don't see color, you will be reminded that you are not. I don't think it has to be very dark to accomplish this.

Help us go blind?

Should help you old people out a little..

The red border works great for me....

Maybe with the same light background as what you see in the posts.
