Anyone willing to help me test a new style?

I've liked the features and layout of LJ's new default style, Air, for a while now, but I've really hated the colors. Last week I started investigating what I could do to alter it to suit my preferences, and I think I've gotten it pretty much the way I like (it matches the colors I have set on my friends feed - I call it Autumn Evening.)

I don't know if this feedback is of any use to you. Sorry if it isn't.

My apologies, I really should have considered making a lighter-colored version for testing. Give me a couple days and I'll whip something together.

I'm not a potential tester (too inept and too in love with my current theme and ouch, I can't remember what exactly I customized a long time ago and how to do it again), but I thought I may as well warn you because I'm not the only one who has such issues.

Well, at least it isn't yellow letters on a purple background. THAT is the stuff of nightmares for me, worse than even white letters on a white background. LOL But seriously, a lighter colour scheme that is still different from those original colours would be a very good idea for testers (and then for general users) with sensitive eyes.
