For your viewing pleasure! You might have to copy the images and overlay them to see the difference, but I’ve taken the liberty of zooming in on a similar section in each image so you get a better look.

This is a straight recompile of Comicster – I didn’t have to change any XAML markup at all. I think you’ll agree that the “after” screenshot has more readable text. It’s darker, somehow, particularly in the semi-transparent “subtitle” text under each issue name.
