Am not suggesting that doing so is the cure, just that it is something that may contribute to it.

@Katsunami: Pretty much anyone who has had to write software for general use on linux would agree with us. Hell, even Linus Torvalds agrees with us, once he started distributing his dive log software on linux.

There is no two ways about it, software distribution for general use on linux is broken, badly. It's the only major flaw in a platform that I love and have used as my main desktop for almost twenty years.

@Katsunami and @BetterRed - thanks for the Windowsblinds suggestions. I'll have to check it out.

@AnotherCat - I already do keep my brightness and contrast low. On my tablet and phone I'm usually at 12% brightness unless there's bright lighting then I go to 20 or 30%. At night I have 6% brightness and put a gray filter on top.

As said already, I have no recollection whether the same option exists in Win 7, or whether its function is the same, without setting up a machine to play with.

Thanks for this. I'm using the high contrast theme at work now at it's working great! It automatically does the background for pdf and PowerPoint files too. I had to edit each PowerPoint separately before because there are no accessibility options.

Well that's why I don't know of them - they're evil. And I'm all sweetness and light.
