Color contrast improvements to the www.xfce.org webpage

This mail is about improving the color contrast of the www.xfce.org webpage.

I am posting this to the mailing list because I still haven't received the login credentials for gitlab.xfce.org that I previously requested here:
https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/2026-August/038583.html

The current high-contrast black-on-white design feels outdated and creates a harsh visual mismatch with the dark images used in the slideshow. To make the site look more modern, I propose decreasing the contrast.

Adding the following CSS to the top of site_www.css achieves this result:

	body, a span, #content  { color: #222; }
	#content, #content  #slidenav { background-color:#fafafa; }

Alternatively, a milder variant could be used:

	body  { background-color:#e4e4e4; }
	body, a span, #content  { color: #222; }
	#content, #content #slidenav, #content .post-day { background-color:#f5f5f5; }

Or, for something slightly less dull, this version uses an imperceptible purple tint:

	body, a span, #content  { color: #222; }
	body  { background-color:#e6e3e6; }
	#content, #content #slidenav, #content .post-day { background-color:#f7f4f7; }
