  IIRC your problem with the current color scheme was fuzzy contrast
on your monitor. A technical issue, similar OTOH to high contrast
headaches.

  AFAIR long ago people preferred the current scheme over presented
alternatives, despite the low contrast issue being acknowledged. I
assume a trade off for aesthetics.

  As aesthetics is a matter of personal taste, I've prepared a couple
of alternatives with better contrast palette:

     http://www.dillo.org/test/dillo2.tmp1.html
     http://www.dillo.org/test/dillo2.tmp2.html

  I like both over "dillo2.html".

  I like tmp1 for its lively colors (though "waterish"), and also
like tmp2 for its more integrated "airish" palette (a bit "serious" too).

  It can be replaced with something better.
