Ever since I wrote this node I have been meaning to make a PerlMonks light yellow theme... well here it is :) I used Aristotle's theme as a basis and worked from there. I originally intended to use it with the default theme but found it looks really good with the red theme.
It still needs a little work - the page width barfs occaisionaly resulting in a need to use the horizontal scroll bar and I haven't managed to change the background colour for the body of sub nodes without breaking everything. All in all I find it usable and soft on the eyes :) Not too bad for a complete CSS novice any-way... /msg me or reply if you have any clues/ideas for fixes.
/*Modified Aristotle CSS, Use with the red theme*/
