Another possibility to provide better reading is to use a thicker font without serifs for the white letters. Keep in mind that on terminal sessions the letters are typically monospaced. Below are what it looks like now and a a couple of samples to demonstrate, I kept the point since the same (14) but notice how they still take the same space. I wrote many computer books for classes and had a lot of experience testing fonts and found non-serif best for commands/etc.

Current what I see now in Confluence - Courier New (note serifs):
sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup local    # Modify the owner of the /usr/local directory to yours

Andale Mono (no serifs):
sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup local    # Modify the owner of the /usr/local directory to yours

Monaco (I use this a lot in books for this purpose):
sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup local    # Modify the owner of the /usr/local directory to yours

the problem is, that the black code snippets pop out and my eyes have
difficulty to actually detect the text on the page -- especially if
there are lots of code snippets. The brain gets too much distraction
and it's difficult to find the desired part on the screen.

The old wiki had a light-grey background for source code, and that was
quite perfect.

All the other choices are either black or white background, so not much
choice. It's nice to make it stand out from narrative text, however.

We could change the style sheet if I can ever figure out how. I haven't
pursued it because there is a warning in the help about superseding
everything else. I don't know if they mean it supersedes the affected
element across the whole Confluence site or if it wipes out the entire style
sheet except for the changes. Knowing how stupid Confluence can be in other
areas I wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter.

I'll see about a soft charcoal color, or maybe a baby blue. :-)

Maybe we change the default black background to something less
annoying? it really distracts from reading.
