The current grey background is really horrible and off-putting. Please change the wallpaper to white!

Hmmm. You're the first to complain. I've been looking for a grey-tone wallpaper but haven't found anything I like yet...

I'm accomodating, What do others think? Should I just use browser-default rather than setting the color?

I'm reluctant to take action now lumpkin, since we might soon have some cool wallpaper relating to our upcoming demo and artwork.

Wallpaper? Nooo! - Nor do I have such a gimmick. Why bother with longer download of the site for a questionable benefit?
I despite the hype of megs of graphics and animation for websites. They just cover the thin content and take long to build up in the browser.
But you could design a logo for Clash. I would be the first to embed it on my link-page.

I don't think I mean wallpaper actually. I just think it would be a lot kinder on the eye if you changed the background to white with this simple line, requiring no extra download time:

Okay, the line is refusing to appear, I'll try it without the > and the <:

"body bgcolor=#FFFFFF"

I Know how to change the color... I just like the light gray. If everyone wants white I'll change it. Its a shame browsers don't allow you to overrided background colors easily. At least I don't know how to do it.
