At my monitor working res of 1080 x 1920 the white text against the dark plum background of the alert panel is hard to read. Is the option of a plain white background with black text possible?
Good stuff folks! Thank you.
Options for hard to read Ghostery panel text and color?

1Unlike the old CRTs, flat panels only work well when used at their native resolution. If you actually have a WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor, and feed it a 1920x1080 signal, you're going to get something blurry if it tries to resample rather than letterbox.
Other common problems are covered in previous discussion: http://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/t...
If the problem isn't with the monitor, there are a few things you might try. One is to go into Firefox's Content Preferences, click Advanced..., and set a Minimum font size. If you're using Mac OS X, you might want to look at System Preferences > Universal Access.
If you're using Windows 7, I guess you want Ease of Access:
(The situation with Linux is embarrassingly bad; there seemed to be a lot of activity a few years ago, but it looks like efforts have waned considerably since then.)
"Is the option of a plain white background with black text possible?"
Yes, anything's possible. You could go to about:support, click on Application Basics > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder, and place a userContent.css file containing
body > div[class^="__ghosteryfirefox_"] {
background-color: white !important;
}
body > div[class^="__ghosteryfirefox_"] > span {
color: black !important;
}
into the chrome folder, and restart Firefox. Hypothetically, of course, since this isn't sanctioned.

I must be doing something wrong. Does this work with Firefox 12?

1You need to create the chrome folder if it doesn't already exist, since its default creation was removed as part of the "dumbing down" that's afflicted recent Firefox releases. But yes, it still works. However, Ghostery itself has changed internally (remember, this is undocumented!).
For Ghostery 2.7.2, userContent.css might have looked like this:
body > div#ghostery-purple-bubble {
background-color: white !important;
}
body > div#ghostery-purple-bubble > span {
color: black !important;
}
That broke with Ghostery 2.8.0.1, but I think this will work:
body > div#ghostery-purple-bubble {
background-color: white !important;
}
body > div#ghostery-purple-bubble > span {
background-color: inherit !important;
color: black !important;

White text on Black background.
Hello and thank you for developing this really useful extension for Firefox.
I like to have websites with white text on black background: I'm a negative sort of person :-)
When I do this I can't see the buttons to disable/enable individual trackers in Ghostery.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this or am I going to give in and revert to the conventional black text on white background?

Seems like this was merged into the wrong thread ... This one seems closer: https://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/...

Just so I don't start a new topic: I think a change to the background color on the findings panel header and footer is in order, to de-emphasize the current strong blues
#website-url {
color: rgb(0, 124, 175); // ghost's shadow blue instead of #6dcff6
color: rgb(48, 103, 171); // ghost's halo blue instead of #6dcff6
}
#header, #footer {
background-color: #B9B9B9; // instead of #0072BB

I guess :) But I go into the bike shed every day, and the blue neon lights are starting to bother my eyes.

What is up with the extremely light grey font in the window showing if the item is turned off or not??? It's EXTREMELY hard to read and determine if I want it turned off or not! It's not like you're saving money on ink. -
