Some web page designers drive me mad with their yellow text on red for
example. I'm looking for a program that overrides the background colour
setting it to white with all text as black or some other contrasting
colour.

I did once find, download & use such a utility but have mislaid it.

Anyone got any helpful ideas?

TIA

1: Use a browser which you can set to use other colors, such as your own
system colors. Mozilla, Opera, etc..

2: Use Proxomitron and its filters to change colors to more readable ones.

3: You should not use white as background color, it is too bright. Choose
off-white, light gray, light beige, or someting like that as your system
colors. There are filters for Proxomitron which tone down too bright
colors.

Technically it is a mistake to use bright white as background color,
because it makes all other colors, pictures, icons, look dull.
With bright white as the reference level all other colors are necessarily
darker. If you use a somewhat darker color as background you let pictures
and other visual elements have the freedom to be both brighter and darker
than the background, the reference level.

You don't need a utility to do this. Change the settings in Internet
Explorer Options.
