You need to bear two things in mind.

1) you are not viewing the screenshot full-screen.
2) it's been JPEGGED to death.

I can read it very easily in-game.
I copied it over to a graphic editor via clipboard to look at it fullscreen. But I too am not too sure about those dimmed scope lines. They needed to be toned down, because they really looked like glowing radium at critical mass or whatever (ehm, ofcourse I never did actually fried my brain with radium rays , or I wouldn't be able to write this i'm sure.) But maybe a middle way of the two intensities you showed. I can hardly see the 0, let alone the marks above it. [Edit: I checked the green intensity level of those pixels. The dark section seems 50% of the bright section. 54 vs. 111]

But before we get you to reach critical mass aswell because of our never ending spectrum of opinions, what's involved in changing the level or color of those lines. Bitmap editing, or just a color code in some ini-file. If we want to change the overall darkness of the Gui we could allways mess around with our videocard/ monitor settings. But individual elements are tricky that way. Probably not every one can adjust the RGB channels seperately, like I could to fix this to my liking.
