Default Font Colors

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.

Whoa! All that did was change to a black background with huge fonts, and
now I can't get back to the nice sort of dark aqua color I had before. I
like white fonts on my desktop and I always had trouble before finding just
the right shade of that color that would let me have white fonts rather than
black. Can you help me with all of that? I'll stay with the OE fonts the
way they were rather than THESE changes.
