ok heres what you do, dont do a foreground colour its the background colour to focus on, set the background to use an argb

Background:argb(70,255,255,255);

this is what me and jason did, what this does is you can see your dark skin in the background but youll have a transparent white background thats just white enough to make the black text visible, the first number is the alpha number so if 70 is enough just increase it until you find the right balance, in our christmas and st patricks themes we used an alpha of 100 in convo window, however in some really bright themes in contact list i had to use a black background with a alpha of 70 .

its all about finding the perfect balance to suit the style your trying to acheive.

if you get stuck give me a shout and ill be happy to help you further.
