background colour

[Féliciano Matias]

I am using FC3T2 (rawhide) and I think : "good job guys" :-)

In the desktop front, I find one very annoying thing :
- The default background colour

It is set to #FFFFFF. It's the brighter colour. In the "real" world,
#FFFFFF mean the sun, a spot light, ...

Generally, I adapt the setting of the monitor to not face to a wall of
suns.
But if I want to watch a movie, I need to adjust again the monitor
setting.

So, I use the theme ThinIce which does not have the background colour
set to #FFFFFF.

Example :
Bluecurve (hot as the fire) :

ThinIce :

My 2 cents feedback.

A bit "bright" but okay.

Personally I find this colour just a tad too blue.

The strange thing is, that I actually "like" the email window being
white, however the default nautilus background colour I set to "cement"
I think that's the one. As I find this MUCH nicer on the eyes when
browsing my file system.

To date I'm not entirely sure why I want the white in the email/word
documents. But I need the grey in the nautilus window.

An I am not advocating to ThinIce.
The point is the brightness of the background colour.
