Okay. Although that's one of the reasons I've avoided capacitive screens. I like the dark (high contrast) fonts. But I guess it would depend on how much of a difference there is. And, more importantly, it has nothing to do with the plastic substrate, which was my main worry — since that seems to be the coming trend.
