I like the color scheme in the documentation. I love it! But ...
My problem is that I can't read white text on black background for more than 10 seconds. It's the same as burning a magnesium ribbon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSr39UwpELo&feature=related) : it's very bright and beautiful, but I can't look at it more then a couple of seconds.
Right now, I take all the content from the chm files and import it into Word, then change the colors. Is there any way to use my own colors, directly in the chm file?
By the way, is it okay if I post a link to the CHM I create, using black on white scheme, in case someone else has the same problem as me?
Sergiu,
CHM is not all that flexible in terms of user configuration. I set the help files to a dark background with light grey text to reduce the surface area of bright colours that cause eyestrain and it works with most people but occasionally someone else has had problems reading it as well. RE content, I don't mind if they are produced for personal consumption in different colours but I don't want these files distributed as the copyright for the masm32 sdk extends to all of its content.

I was wondering if you'd agree to post on your site, near the chm, the black on white pdfs alternatives. If you agree, please tell me how to send them.
See how big the PDFs are and if you can post them here. If they are not too large, post them in the masm32 subforum and I will set them as stickys so they can be found. I cannot extend rights on any of the content of the masm32 sdk as it is protected by copyright to ensure it will always be available as freeware with no additional conditions or alternative licence.
Thank you!
I don't want to change / add something to the license. I simply want to share, on your site, something that you created, in a form that might be easier to read for people like me.
Regarding the size : I can make zip archives from that pdfs, if that's okay.
Sergiu, why don't you just decompile the masm32.chm, change the colors in the html and recompile for your own personal use since hutch doesn't mind if they are produced for personal consumption in different colours :bg That should be alright to do?

I will definitely do that.
I wanted to post the pdfs in case someone else had my problem with the colors. Simply put, it would help that person to avoid doing the same work I did.
