Hmm, well we can change fonts from the applet can't we - shouldn't be
too hard to add support for background changing, even if not part of the

Is it necessary to have a black/purple gradient for this to work? It's
not like we're suggesting that we change to baby blue ;) Have you tried
jeff's gradient - it's very dark. Or we could use a solid #677587 for
example - still looks quite reasonable, would be great if it was
adaquate for a11y.
