As I use a light text on dark background, I stop when they ask if there is something wrong with my monitor because the background is black... sigh.

Too much inertia and bad practices out there unfortunately. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org release_8.0-pre-473-gf20de0
