Comment by earthling on May 12, 2012 at 11:18am Oops always hit comment before I write anything. Anyway, for me a dark background with white or yellow letters is easy to see, like the screen on my Animas pump.

Comment by MapleSugar on May 12, 2012 at 11:03am Anyone care to give me an idea of where to start, please? I can't very well try several million color combinations at random.
Thanks.

Comment by MapleSugar on May 11, 2012 at 8:08am Yes, Shoshana, but I need some hint what colors to start with. What colors do you use?
Comment by shoshana27 on May 11, 2012 at 7:06am TO MAPLESUGAR..ADJUST THE COLOR & 0THER THINGS ON THE COMPUTER UNTIL YOU FIND THE ONE THAT'S MOST COMFORTABLE FOR YOU.THAT'S WHAT I DID.
Comment by MapleSugar on May 11, 2012 at 6:14am Hi!
I don't really think that my current question has much to do with my diabetes, but this seemed like a good place to ask.
I'm getting older. I have just been examined, and I don't have diabetic retinopathy. I do have some nerve anomaly which hasn't finished its runarounds yet, adn which may or may not be affecting my vision. I occasionally get short-term blurriness from changes in my BG, but I'm not sure that that's relevant either.
I often find it easier to make my own modifications in my computer's copy of other peoples web pages. For example, I sometimes enlarge the fonts and change them to boldface.
Can anyone suggest a basic text-on-background color scheme which usually helps, so I can use it as a starting point? Most of the pages I read are black-on-white, and I feel that some other scheme might be better. Black on yellow? Dark maroon on very light green?
Any ideas, please?
Thanks.
M.
