Thank you, and that's a very good point about the "glare" of a white background. And those template don't sound familiar to me but I will definitely take a look this week.
I do like the templates used by stormwreath and 2maggie2, but the contrast between the colored background and text is not enough for me - and it's weird, but at first I had been trying to avoid a template I associated too much with another person's LJ (which is ridiculous, right? there's no way for every one of us to have our own template.)
That said, I like the look of gabrielleabelle's LJ quite a lot - it was probably the first one I happened upon this year, when discovering Buffy fandom - but I suspect it's only available to paid accounts?
