Lighting everything is a fashion which will disappear. People need to BE ABLE to read as FAST as they can. Light fonts are that perk which makes things 'look' great but convey little information.

Otherwise, great and clear ideas.

I think that using gray scales actually focuses the user on more valuable assets on the data visualization. But you're right, it's also a fashion. Thanks for your comment.

Oh, I intended to say "gray color for text" (which makes it less readable) and got confused, sorry :)

I liked your post a lot, anyway.
