  Please darken the new A:link colour – there’s poor contrast when it’s displayed the grey and blue dashboard background colours.

  You can switch the color scheme back to the classic by going to users > my profile and selecting “Classic” admin color scheme and then clicking “update profile.”

  That still leaves the majority of the dashboard white (which is hurting my eyes). How can I completely change back to the old dashboard. I don’t know who in the world came up with this new themes – but that mess is a “horrible”!!!

  You cannot completely change back, the classic setting is the closest you can get. You might try turning the brightness on your monitor down a little bit.

  Well, my monitor is properly calibrated. There’s probably some usability tool out there that says whether your f/g – b/g colour contrast is good enough.

  Everyone’s eyesight is a little different. Contact support and ask for a darker background color. They now have the ability to add additional admin area color schemes, and it would be a good idea to have one with a light grey or something.
