Thanks for the tips.
I've lightened up the color scheme from the gray color that it was before, but I haven't decided on a final scheme yet. I'll experiment with the green and maybe I'll get something a little more lively.
Sydzy, I'm not sure I'm seeing what you're seeing. If possible, could you send me a screenshot of what you see--or maybe just let me know what browser and OS you are using, and maybe I can recreate it myself.
Thanks again!
Bill
