Show HN: Ditch Black Text to Read Faster, Easier

2 Suggestions:

1. It'd be very nice if you had a version that tweaks text colors and doesn't touch anything else, i.e. just like on the demo page. When I tested your bookmarklet and it tore up the page I thought something was broken. I only found out that it uses readability because I started digging when it 'broke', you never mention 'readability' in your copy.

2. People will want it enabled by default. You can't do that if you use readability.

For your first suggestion, I dusted off some old code and modified it slightly:

It should keep the layout as is, while only adding color, but I have only tested it on wikipedia. The color period is wrong, but it will show you some approximation of how sites will look with a non-interrupting beeline bookmarklet.
