Hi, would it be possible to make font color of the body text more contrast? Currently, the main.css has a section for body {} which sets color:#858c89; which translates to hsl(154, 3%, 54%); Do not know how this looks on more expensive monitors but on cheap monitors this make for quite light color (it is more then 50% light according to hsl model). Something like hsl(154, 3%, 34%) could be much more readable. Regards, Lukas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks Simon, let me know if there is a better (more efficient) way how to report or open issues regarding the .org site.

Hi Simon, I think it is looking better now. Thanks! Just if I may... I noticed the darker colour is not applied on all parts of the guide. For example have a look at hunspell filter doc > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. Note how elements are not inheriting the #555 color.

Hey, Thanks for changing the colour in lists. Shall the colour in tables be changed as well? 🙂 For example most of the content on this page [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/) still uses the lighter colour. Also note that from the pure aesthetics POW (or better readability) there might be some margin between elements in the table row. See how on the second table row the 'Settings' text (index.term\_index\_interval) joins the 'Description' text in the second column. Regards, Lukas [yea... I won't stop bugging as long as there is a chance for improvement :-)] On Sun, May 26, 2013 at 9:43 PM, Lukáš Vlček [lukas.vlcek@gmail.com](mailto:lukas.vlcek@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Simon, > > I think it is looking better now.

Actually, the default bootstrap theme would work best, IMHO. Just sayin'.
