what many other places have done, designed a UI where the difference<br>

The difference is the text changes from black to a dark blue-gray and a<br>
shadow disappears. A common thing that does work is the make the active tab<br>
font BOLD but I gus that didn't make the cut.<br>

This ranks up there with making CD/DVD eject button the same black color as<br>
the rest of the faceplate.<br>

Yes. Some 14 year old kid can see it but in 30 years those eyes will be<br>
fading as well.<br>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain<br>
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.<br>
It won't fatten the dog.<br>
