Not really, but I'd prefer a somewhat less colourful scheme. Some of the texts
are hard to read for me, like e.g. grey on green (Summer), white on light grey
(Winter) or dark blue on light blue (Marine). I suppose they worked fine with
CRT screens...

Anyway, nevermind, I can live with it. Just wanted to know if I was missing
something.
