I desaturated the theme to see what that would look like. I assume this should stop the eye bleeding that several of you have been complaining about. I'm not sure I like it. It may not last.
update: To make this change, I just grabbed my colors and slapped them into a photoshop image and performed a desaturate and then did a search and replace in my text editor from the old colors to the new. What would be really slick is if I could feed my stylesheet into a webtool and have it display the color swatches and then let me manipulate those colors similar to the photoshop color picker and then have it regurgitate an updated stylesheet. Anyone know of anything like that?
