Agreed. In my opinion is it a pretty stupid idea to print from thousands of
html pages, if a perfect printable pdf is just one klick away.

So lets make the bg of figure bright and see what it looks like. The darkish
appeareance is IMHO going to be the new 2.4 style in many places, e.g.
gimp.org as well as graphics applications in general and the GIMP fullscreen
mode in special - I like the idea of a distinctive 2.4 look (of the manual).
Remember, we just started working on the 2.4 manual. There is no need to
rush out a new release of the manual in the next couple of weeks. We now lay
the foundation for a manual cycle that lasts a couple of years again (til
2.6 will be released).
