Default Strange request for dyslexics.

I've been noticing something about myself here, and a little bit I know about dyslexia and overcoming it.

Ii'm a strange dyslexic in that i read alot. But most dyslexics don't, but it has been found that if placing a pale blue filter over the text they read better. I've been noticing myslef that when I tyupe a post in the normal box I don't notice spelling errors immediately. But as soon as they show up on th ethread in the pale blue background I spot them easily.

Is there anyway that we could make the box that we type into to be pale Blue, or an option in the CP panel to choose that.

Think it would help with spelling in general around here.

This is actually a windows setting (XP at least)

-Right click anywhere on your desktop
-select 'properties'
-click on the 'appearance' tab
-click on the 'advanced' button in the bottom right corner
-Then the item you wish to change is called 'window'. Select whatever shade of blue you want. Then in any window you type it should be that colour background.


Clear as mud? If you have problems with this feel free to shoot me a PM.
