Comments: Personas And Text Legibility

Drop shadows would solve that problem, yes. And TTBOMK, you can use the same new CSS text shadow support in XUL that you can in HTML.

I have the same problem, and so my PC is permanently seasonal, switching between the easter and snowman personas (the only two which are anywhere near pleasing to my jaded eye).

I find "Firefox B" to also be very legible, and prefer it for exactly this reason. And light blue and yellow make a comfortable color combination, too.

Drop shadows work on most XUL in Firefox 3.5, but there are gotchas because the XUL layout engine doesn't know about them, so you need to work around it whenever you want wrapped text with drop shadow. (Fixed in Firefox 3.Next).

Personas are gay.
