haha,at least ya'll were kind enough to edit...
I loaded a dark skin in 7 and the details pane had the window color text!Thats not exactly control but its way better than unchangeable black.The window background was still white and black but I bet thats just a beta thing for now.
I'm not complaining about 7 on 7 Neil...(I've knocked his progress on certain details enough in the past) it would be unfair to criticise the state of beta soft on beta OS...just making notes and comparing to Vista.
I am trying to be helpful,I just get cranky sometimes...must be the eye strain,wink wink.
When I work in Win 7 I actually have windows open as small as practicle to avoid the white.This,with a monitor brightness of 50% and 4 bulbs burning in a small room...one shining on the wall behind the monitor to keep the monitor from being the dominant light source in my field of vision.
A graphic artist dosnt really have the luxury of turning the brightness down even further...ideally he needs full white and absolute black to see how his work really looks.I need the OS not to overpower what I'm trying to see.Its like trying to make out a face with a flashlight shined in your eyes.
This isnt the bad old days of crt's with washed out contrast...todays LCD's are very bright and high contrast...even the cheap ones like mine.
