you can turn off colored fonts and colored backgrounds in your browser, and then you can set the colors for whatever you want to see. your choice will override anything a web page wants you to see.

i choose black type and white background because that has the least flicker and besides my brain is used to reading this way. i also have all type bolded.

to set your own look in internet explorer, go to Tools, then Internet Options. toward the bottom of the window you will see four buttons: Color... Fonts... Languages... Accessibility...

to set Color, click on the Color button. you will see two boxes, one for text color and one for background color. click inside these boxes on the color shown and a choice of colors will appear. click on your preferred color and click OK.

to set Fonts, click on the Fonts button. Scroll down the list on the left until you find the font you can see the best. this will be the font you will see on all web pages. the list on the right controls the fonts you see, for example, in this text box. there aren't many choices. click on OK.

to set both colors and fonts so that you will see them instead of what the web page sends, click on Accessibility. there will be three check boxes. Ignore colors specified on Web pages will make your color choices always show. you must check this box to make it happen. Ignore font styles specified on Web pages will set your preferred fonts only if you check this box. Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages will always allow you to see the larger font that you set in the Fonts button. check all three of these boxes.

check OK and when you are back to Internet Options check Ok again.

you will have to refresh to see your changes. while your browser window is the active window, press F5.

and no more light green text.

i have no idea what the background color is of this site, i have never seen it in the raw.

if you don't have Internet Explorer, one of the BrainTalk 2 geeks will come along and put in the rest of the instructions. (Bobbi, where are you?)
