Aha. So you don't like the white on dark blue on red. Since the
colours even have good contrast to each other without "burning" in the
eyes, I'd rather say that this is a personal preference/aversion. (at
least as long as not many people raise their voice and consider this
set of colors ugly as well).
The red is not discussable I'd say because the Debian swirl is red.
Hence, there will probably always be red elements on the homepage.

Interesting. This was when I accidently used Firefox. With lynx I
don't have this curiosity.

I won't get blind again?
Argh, I'm blinded again.

True. Guess where the 'A propos de Debian' and 'Obtenir Debian' came
from. Hint: extraterrestrial life was not involved. Looking at the
translation 'Le coin du développeur' is also quite long, so
"Developer's Corner" may be good if replaced by "Development" or
something short.

Well, it's simply unreadable when I use a graphical browser -- unless
I select the text in which case the colors are inverted and I can read
it indeed.
