A plea to people who heavily customize their livejournals

Please can you choose foreground and background colors that actually contrast with other a reasonable amount? Some of the journals on my friends list are getting offputtingly hard to read.

Of all the journals I occationally read directly, yours is the worst contrast wise, Gerald. :)

Here's an example (http://users.pepperfish.org/rjek/geraldscheme.png) :)

That's just a limitation of the tabular indent style - it won't let you choose different link colours on different background colours. This is somewhat foolish given the considerable advantage in other respects to a high contrast between various backgrounds.

I'd love to fix it, but nobody can tell me how to get a copy of the tabular indent style to use as a starting point for my own (only very slightly different) style.
