dark blue on black makes it almost totally unreadable, but it's cool! (seems intentional! ;) )

Yeah, that was the best color for 1-bit shading in my opinion :]
I can read it quite well btw, maybe it just depends on the type of monitor.

you reminded me now a feature from zx-spectrum basic - colours 0 to 7 you have all those 8 colours (ula hardware related) - colour 8 is transparent, and colour 9 is contrast (basic interpreter related) - https://worldofspectrum.org/ZXBasicManual/zxmanchap16.html - colour 0 is like, when the paper is between 0 and 3 (black to magenta), ink 9 means it's always 7 (white) - when the paper is betwen 4 and 7 (green to white), ink 9 means it's always 0 (black) - colour 9 close to assure you will get over 50% of luminance contrast (a contrast often mentioned in Johannes Itten book The Art of Color ) - blue on black you get around 10% of colour contrast or less (perhaps about 7% because it's bright 0, i think - but it's not that problematic since the text you used is quite large) - anyway, i confess i use to have the monitors not that bright, my eyes get tired quite easily

nitro is right, this color combo sucks to read but damn do i want this battle. opm, you in on this as well?

I can read the colors fine.

the shape of the letters is a little awkward to read, but the dark blue on black has a very readable contrast to my eyes, even in icon view.

hehe
i agree, the font and colour are hard for me to see, but i really want this batol as well... i really want it...
