I also appreciate addressing the unreadable mentions in the Digi themes. It is better than before, so please disregard this suggestion if it's deemed to be not worth the effort or if I'm the only one with this opinion. I find the stroked text hard to read or at least not very pleasing to the eye -- not a criticism, just my opinion. It's sort of jarring relative to everything else on the page, making the forum less professional looking in my view.
I have spent a fair bit of time designing user interfaces for commercial software products, particularly in choosing fonts, colors, weights, etc., for max readability and aesthetics (particularly in poker statistic displays where legibility is critical), so maybe I'm more sensitive than others to these things, but I believe adding a stroke to text works with larger and/or bolder fonts, not with regular text. It becomes pretty busy and hard to look at, especially if the name contains a lot of vertical line characters. I think it would be ideal if a mention in a Digi theme just had a different color blue than the one that was previously used. That would keep it from blending in with the background like it did before. A brighter blue color such as the one used for links or a similar hue would be perfect, imo. My two cents...
