For ELCBK – Seems to be a couple I don’t recall being there, and maybe some no longer available. Maybe Simple Press changes it up periodically.[reply]
Every once in a while, when I log in, it reverts to that Ice Blue and I have to select Berries-n- Cream again.
For ELCBK – I have always used them. I have Berrie-n-Cream for this site. In the Money on Violaman. The Ice Blue(?) default one is too light for me to be able to read.ELCBK
For Jols – I ❤️color, but some are really hard on my eyes. Surprised I like the Brown/cream, too!Jols
For ELCBK – Well now that you mentioned it, I just did LOL. I think my faves are shades-of-gray and brown-cream. There are few others I thought were cute color-wise but made it harder for me to read the text.
I would not go near a spider. Husband is on spider patrol here. “Big spider – south livingroom wall! It’s moving!”-
