@robertvonherz I'm sorry this isn't working for you. For what it's worth, the grey is darker than 50% — about 44% in face (#6f6f6f). And in seventeen years of running this site, always with the same theme, yours is the first accessibility complaint I've had.

Then again, who knows how many people have had accessibility issues and just quietly gone away without saying anything.

I'm looking into there there's an easy way to make the text darker.

@daneharrigan That said, now that I've thought to try #OpenBSD #xenodm's default light & dark grey colors with the 'gray' pattern, I really like the effect:

`xsetroot -fg \#6f6f6f -bg \#bfbfbf -bitmap /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/gray`

Naturally, `xsetroot -default` isn't right either. So, I poked around and found the correct incantation in `/etc/X11/xenodm/Xsetup_0`:

`xsetroot -fg \#6f6f6f -bg \#bfbfbf -bitmap /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/root_weave`

Ah, much better! 2/2
