I recently upgraded to the latest release and after starting up bitcoin-qt (using Windows XP) I noticed this:
I think the text ("~207 blocks remaining") might be better off being just black although this is probably just a sign of my eyesight getting poorer with age.
Oddly enough if I put the focus to another window the text color changes to black (am guessing this must some sort of standard Qt "feature").
Other than that it is looking nice!
Cheers,
Ian.
