I can't ever recall ever having visited a site which advertised
customizing such colour options as a feature of their interface. I do
agree that it sounds technologicaly 'geeky'  beyond belief. :-> If people
are browsing the WWW surely  they are not going to bother to do this just
for the sake of our site, are they? If there are problems with the display
colours surely the best approach would be for us to fix them at source,
would it not, or is there something that I am missing here?

Cheers,

Chris
