Description

At least on my monitor, it's nearly impossible to see the very faint blue background behind the preamble in Legalpad now:

Although the text also has a bit of a margin around it, that isn't a strong distinguisher for me because, e.g., L28 has many body sections with lists and other ragged left margins, so it isn't a sharp distinction.

I'd like to see this section separated more clearly, so it's very obvious which sections of the document are advisory discussion (the preamble) and which sections are legally binding (the document).

Maybe something like:

  • Darken the background substantially?
  • Put a divider line between the preamble and body text?
  • Provide separate large "Preamble" and "Document" headers?

Do you have a matte screen?

My new "gaming" PC monitor is matte and it's amazing to me how bad the color is. And it's a top of the line display. It does open my eyes a bit on some of our more subtle colors. I can see a {lightbluebackground} at the top of a web page, but not the bottom.

Here's a super helpful photo of my screen :3 :3 :3 :3

Way better on my monitor now, thanks!

Now that I have a sub-par computing experience at home, some things should naturally get better.
