You forgot to set the text color

You hard coded the background to #E0E0E0 in the user.css and admin.css
You neglected to set the text color to black. As a result my text from my standard black windows xp theme is not visible as the black theme sets the text to white. I fixed this by adding to the css files the color: black;. Please note this change will be transparent to anyone (most people) who already have black text.
body {
color: black;
background-color: #E0E0E0;
}
