Yes, someone else mentioned something similar on the forums. I wouldn't 
be against making it a tad darker - there's plenty of time to tweak 
these things, but I disagree with making it too much of a 'neutral' 
colour.

The reason I tried this lighter background is to improve contrast. The 
thing that I *don't* like about the default 2.36 is that because the 
grey is too 'neutral', things tend to smear in together and blend in 
with with background. It's so much easier to see the forms of your 
objects when they're lifted off the background and you can see a 
silhouette.

Check this comparison between the defaults in T3 and in 2.36. Because 
of the improved contrast, it's so much easier to discern the shape of 
the model on the left, the right just looks muddy and needs a lot more 
eye-work, following the edges around:

I'd like to include a separate 'dark' theme that still retains 
contrast, something like this ( 
http://mke3.net/blender/interface/3dview/darktheme01.jpg ) as well. 
This may help if it's the 'lightness' that people might be having 
trouble with :) Anyway, I'd like to hear some more reasoned opinions on 
the subject from others, too.

Cheers

Matt
