Just on the off chance that you're stuck with a monitor like the one
with which I'm stuck, you might try changing the gamma of your form
(refer to Appendix A.2, "Initialization").

My office monitor (on an ancient Sun 4/370) has a gamma of 1.0 whereas
most `modern' monitors now have a gamma of 2.2. I find that a lot of
things are pretty hard to read (including most web pages) on this darn
thing and that "greyed out" objects do tend to blend into the
background sometimes.

Other than that, I'd say fiddle with the background color.
