I use Internet Explorer to browse yon cybartubbes, but it kills me when sites have the black text on a white or pale background (as most do) because then I spend time staring into the equivalent of a light bulb. What I'm wondering, then, is if there's any way to force IE to just display all pages with black backgrounds and white text. Normally I'd just poke through all the options, but today I am feeling lazy. Any help would be appreciated.

Try adjusting the brightness on your monitor.

Try adjusting the brightness on your monitor. I've done that. It's at its lowest setting now. Sadly, my superhero- and/or morlock-like sensitivity to light means that it's still not enough. |

There is. Tools>Internet Options>Colors (the very bottom of the default tab). Keep in mind though that this works well for some sites and not for others. The problem is usually with sites that specify only the color of text or background and leave the other one to be the default one.

Another fix that would require some knowledge of html and css(minimal on both, I could explain it pretty quick), would be installing the IEdevelopertoolbar and modifying the page's body tag css. |

I'm open to that as well. That would definitely give me some more flexibility. I do have very very basic knowledge of HTML, but not much of CSS. If you explain what it entails, I'll go poke around and find the toolbar. |

body {
color: black !important;
background-color: white !important;
}
Putting this code in your user-defined CSS stylesheet will override all the colours in any HTML document.
edited for colours.

Except that that will do what he doesn't want (black text on white background). Switch them so it is color: white !important; background-color: black !important; If you want other colors, and since you are using IE, this page will be quite helpful for the names of colors. |

The toolbar is somewhat remarkably incompatible with 64-bit IE, which is what I normally use. I've added it to my 32-bit browser and I'll probably mess around with it, but for now I'm forcing IE to set the colors as I like them so I'll stick with that. Thanks for the help, though!

Yes, it is very sad. On the other hand, having a flash-incompatible browser does spare me a number of flash-based ads. In conjunction with conventional ad-blocking software, it works great.
