Having and issue with the I know this should be a simple matter to resolve on my end,but it has been a looong time thise I have been heree. Itried to select a green font to get some readable contrast on my Lennovo T61 1680x1050 screen with a Nvidia video card. I tried the other web browseer it had the same problem. I can see that that the spell checker has found my misspelled wordss. but It is a little to tough on this end. I am impressed how quickly KNO9 RC 64 boots from the USB stick. WOW!!!

Ok, I fixed my screen issues by switching to the AluminumAlloy-Cryogenic theme. Takes me back to issues with full duplex vs. half duplex settings in terminal emulators! All better with that.

Sad indeed that DVD media is so horribly slow, but it's a very inexpensive way to make KNOS portable. For those who put it on a USB stick or onto a hard drive, it's quite fast especially considering that it has to detect and then configure itself every time after examining all the hardware to configure itself automatically.
Sounds to me like the darker font had some visual issues for you - there's several ways to win there. Of course, you can right-click on the desktop and select one of the many other themes and styles we ship with. You can also go into the Theme tab once you're there - look for the "customize" button below the theme display there (third one over) and you can adjust the theme ELEMENTS (including font colors and all) if you want to stay with the dark theme default we use. You can customize anything in there just the way you like it.
You can also customize the display colors in the browser as well, and if you have KNOS installed to a hard disk, USB stick of 8GB or larger, or if you use a separate USB stick to store files on - go to Applications up top, then System tools, and then "Back up app settings" - KNOS will store your settings, plugins, add-ons and all and automatically bring them back into KNOS every time you boot so long as the drive that you save those settings to is connected when you boot up KNOS. If you're running solely from the DVD, then you'd have to redo that every time.
Edit: Looked into this a little further, and at least here in this forum software, they're forcing an override of black text on the theme background instead of our default white text for the dark theme. Dunno what I can do about this as yet, am looking into a solution since Firefox only picks up pieces of the theme, but not all the elements. Chromium on the other hand, renders it all properly. We're dropping Epiphany owing to lack of maintenance on it by the Gnome folks. So looks like the problem is in Firefox only so far.

I will give Chromium a try next. Keep up the good work!

Yes, things are MUCH different with Chromium on this website. No muss, no fuss, it just works.
