I've tried to draw attention to the button bar with the most prominent 
link on my front page to the skin selection page, which by the way also 
allows changing the text size to whatever is more comfortable for you.

I guess I'll just have to add a table row to the button bar with a 
prompt for the users to "Hover to Preview Styles, Click to Set Styles." 
in it. That should work. I'm sorry you did not like the default green 
marble skin as it is my favorite, but now that I look at the black on 
white style it is much easier to read I must admit, so I've made it the 
default now.
