Ok, well the new High Contrast template is white on black with a purplish 
background for the current verse. Basically I matched the scheme to the "High 
Contract Black Text" scheme in kde. And then I used other visual clues for 
marking up text since otherwise it lessens the high contrast effect. I'll be 
doing a High Contrast for each high contrast scheme in kde actually since we 
can't really programatically make it match the scheme sadly.

Ok good deal. Does it do anything to tell you which one is the "user template"
