Well, the browser window can be seen as an artistic environment, controlled by 
the webdesigner. The problem is that the webdesigner often doesn't realize 
there are folks who don't use the standard colorscheme (that comes with 
windows or kde). The result is that pages look completely unbalanced and 
artistically butt-ugly because of all the contrasting colors.

So all we need now is a toggle that can be set in konqueror's settings that 
tells khtml to always use the 'normal' colorscheme as default colors for html 
elements/text/background etc. Option 1 is already present in the form of 
userdefineable stylesheets, right ?
