Re: Better default background

[Julien Olivier <julo altern org>]

I know I'll sound quite "retro"... but what about black ? I think black
is the ideal color for a defaukt as it is elegant, universal and white
fonts are better read on it. Maybe the best would be black in the
background and a light grey transparent picture on it (like
lightrays-tranpsarent.png from redhat 9).

PS: no, I'm not one of those gothic people...
