This, I do not really understand. In what application is the white 
background with black text? If others know what 'user1' (Josef, right?)
is talking about, please reply to him.

Maybe it's just that people here know what they are doing and have less 
questions.  :)  and they are also very friendly (they'll send you a warm 
fuzzy rabbit too). Definitely not for the rude.

Okay, good luck, others please help him with the black b/g white text.
