Does anyone know why many font colors in OE (I have v. 6.0) are so
dark now? I'm referring especially to the ones in the drop down menu,
in the darker spectrum, i.e. maroon, green, purple, for instance.
They USED to not be so dark. My friends and I like to communicate
with different colors in answering the other person, to distinguish
who is writing what.
