It really is astonishing, but the
Citrine yellow in Marvin is so intensely yellow that it manages to outshine the sun, so to say.
Naturally, if we were given the option to store more than just 3 themes in Marvin, I probably wouldn't ever have attempted to use a black background as my day mode... I do need the 3 "black" combos for my dusk or night mode, though, and because it would be too much hassle to be switching between a black and a different background manually all the time... well, that's why I've grown used to
Metallic Gold on Black (iPad 3) or
Citrine on Black (iPhone 4, iPad 1) as my "all" day mode, too.
By the way, this again shows how dumb iBooks (and Kindle) is compared to Marvin... because although you can select a "black" background there, you can't adjust the
font colour, too. Reading "white on black" in direct sunlight would be impossible, I'm afraid. It's only thanks to the
intensity of that
Citrine yellow, that I find this practicable at all.
