It's just you. It's much easier on the eyes than a mainly white colour scheme as that's the equivalent to looking at a light bulb for hours! You can however change the look slightly by going into your user control panel and in board preferences. There's a drop down with different styles under "My board style". They may be slightly buggy though as they are not the main style.
nice ive changed it to all white red scheme much better i have all my screens brightness very low as my eyes are fairly sensative to light cheers steve
No, it's not just you! I was struggling to read everything too! Thanks for the advice/instructions on changing the colour scheme.
