[Coco] MShell Update

[Retro Canada]

my problem is the black background. it's not the same a monochrome monitor. on lcds we have the backlight and the black background burns in my retina. i have some minor degree of photophobia, maybe when my brain sees a black background my iris opens and this maybe is the cause of my annoyance. i often stop reading such pages or when i have to i remove the colors.

I think it is the font.  Now that I look at it on my laptop, first time was on my iPhone, it is hard to focus.  Font on the iPhone was crystal clear.   Gene was right it it easier with some magnification.  I would also left justify it or full justify it.  The whole thing centered it just does not look right.  
Here is a clip of it in Helvetica, full justified with a mild green color.
