Default Black lettering is visible!

Ya know when people put writing in black ink and they think it's invisible likethis. It's not. If you just stand up and look down at the screen it's completely visible.

I guess it depends on your settings. Even if technically visible it's far easier to overlook though, even at will.

Thedarkknight, do you have an LCD screen? I discovered that with LCD screens, but to my knowledge, it does not work with conventional monitors.

Turn your gamma and contrast down, Chryos, if you care enough. It used to be hard as hell to read without selecting for me... now I've turned up my brightness and contrast to see a picture (the contents of which shall remain mine to know) and I can read it fine.

Yeah, but the black lettering is just to avoid spoilers. It's just a little bit harder to see so it just dosen't pass by your eyes and then you yell "D'OH! I didn't want to see that!" It would be that you would have to look at it to see what it says.

Edit: Being really slow, I have to say this: No I couldn't Meister. That was invisible there.
