Until a couple of minutes ago, I had this in my Colophon:

If you’re looking at this on a Windows–based system, it may be hard to see. That’s because Mac OS X displays tend to have a much brighter gamma than Windows. If you can’t see it, then, blame Windows.

Pim from the Time Capsule Memorial Register kindly pointed out that, as of Mac OS X 10.6, this is no longer the case. Now Apple shoots for the minimum and makes your screen darker than necessary. Just brilliant (pun intended).

I also went ahead and removed some WebKit–specific hacks to make the letters on the screen theoretically more legible. The hacks were reportedly not successful. A few color changes, and the site should read more effectively, regardless of the operating system or monitor you are using.

Plus, I’m stuck on white backgrounds.
