I might overestimate this effect, however.
I find this pastel color scheme quite professional looking and do not feel that it needs much change. As Frank points out, however, there is a bit of problem with both the blue and off-black text somewhat fading into the background. This does introduce a bit of strain on the eyes and makes it somewhat difficult to focus on the text, though this is nit-picking.

Perhaps "Crystal Space SDK" is more descriptive than "Crystal Space 3D" for what is being termed 'engine' above. -- ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
