Please guide me towards how the different skins work.

Ever since I have been here (and I have re-registered so it is longer than Feb 2006), I have always used the default skin. I love this. It is simple, uncomplicated and the fonts work best for me.

However, of late, my eyes have begun suffering with this skin, particularly late at night when it seems a laser beam is having a go at my eyes.

So ....... I switched to the Green Day skin tonight - the green is ok but I don't understand the different shades of green on different posts at this point. I am so tired and I haven't the energy to figure out why!

I apologize if I come across as completely brain dead ..... I have gone through all the skins but most give me a headache.

It would be great if we could have a non-descript greyish type skin - really business like and with the exact same fonts of the default skin.

Ok - but that is besides the point .... what do the different shadings of green mean on the Green Day skin?

Ack - my name (signature) also comes out with the same yellow as the default skin ..... and I thought I had that one waxed
