Would a black-and-white or dark-blue-and-white version of Tropospherical (the red-or-purple) scheme, like fluffyllama suggested, work for you? I will shoot it on over to dw_suggestions if you don't mind.)

(I have to admit to finding all of the current DW site scemes awfully bright, too, though I don't mind the default red. And I selfishly want more people to be more active here. :D)
