12. Your Eyes will Thank You
If you find yourself straining to see what's on your computer screen, you may wish to try one of Windows 95's high-contrast color schemes. You can select from three different sizes of white on black or black on white.
Right-click the desktop and select Properties. Click the Appearance tab and in the drop-down list under Scheme, select any of the high-contrast schemes. A preview appears in the top half of the dialog box.
Don't care for the black-and-white look? If larger text is all you need, select any of the four color schemes followed by (Large). When you find a scheme you like, click OK to make it stick.
