Hi All,
Total newbie here, I am also a technophobe so please keep it simple.
I come here following the path of so many, from win7 to win10 to linux Mint to Puppy Linux to Linuxlite to Bionicpup32 and now here at the doorway to Bodhi Linux. Why so many? well simple enough, I use Win7 for FSX, I had Win10 and found in a short time I hated it so then to LInux Mint which I love. Puppy Linux (various distros') Linuxlite and Bionicpup32 were all for my elderly 32bit Asus Eee 904HD, all for one reason or another fell by the wayside and then I found someone on Youtube extolling the virtues of Bodhi Linux for challenged old laptops.
Firstly it's a steep learning curve, it seems to be a halfway house between Mint and Bionicpup but at least there are plenty of good instruction articles out there.
Now to my problem, I wont see 70 again and I'm struggling to read some of the writing on the pages, black with writing that turns blue defeats me , is there a way to change the Black Green darkness and have something,(dare I say it), Windows like?
On my Asus I at present have 3 OS's, the main one is Bodhi Linux (this replaced bionicpup because you have to have a degree in computer technology to use it!) the second OS in Win7, because I like Chess Titans, and on an SD card I've got Linux Mint 19.2, which works, but like Win7 is very heavy for such an old machine (only 2GB Ram).
So is there an easy way to change the colours, and larger lettering would be a bonus, when I installed Gparted I had to squint to read what was on the notice that came up!
Many thanks in advance (and in hope)

I just edited the original post above with exact steps incase you (or someone else) ever does want to give it a try. I see you edited you roriginal message not to ask about it anymore, but it's useful info in-case someone ever searches (including myself!). Besides those with very experienced eyes, I can see it being useful for small (e.g. not huge) 4k monitors too.
