I have the same problem with all that white background, just as you do -
especially in Outlook Express, but not so much on the net. I have my
default background color set to a light blue. Try this to fix your problem
as I did.
Right click an empty area on your desktop, then choose Properties.
Click the Appearance tab, then the Advanced button.
In the Item drop-down menu, select "Window"
Then click the "Color 1" button and choose the background color you want.
Click Okay then click Apply.
This will change the background color for all your windows, except in IE
where the web site specifies a background color. To fix this, in IE go to
Tools...Internet Options...General tab, Accessibility button, check "Ignore
colors specified on web pages", click Okay, click Okay.
I know you said you didn't want to use the Accessibility option. In that
case, on the General tab, click the Colors button, uncheck the "Use Windows
colors" box and then select your background color from there. Won't get
sites that specify a color, but will cut down on your problem a bit.

Hi,
Looking at the color white hurts my eyes and I am wondering if there is
a way to make the browser change the color white to gray, anywhere it
occurs on any page I may visit. I do not want the accesibility option
of IE because that ignored images that are used as background. I just
want something that will cause the browser to render the color white as
gray. For example, in Adobe Acrobat you can set it to replace a color x
with a color y.
Does anyone know how this can be done while surfing the internet?
Thanks in advance.
Voyager
