high contrast ruined sicne a couple of weeks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i have use chrome in xubuntu with high contrast at night with great 
satisfaction.

however, since a couple of weeks too much of the "inverted" pages is being 
rendered too brightly. 

in gmail, e.g., already-read emails appear "highlighted" in very bright light 
grey, whereas before they were "highlighted" barely less darkly than unread 
emails (see attachment).

please try to tune the thing so that it darkens all backgrounds as much as 
possible.

another nasty effect is that characters and lines are rendered too thickly and 
thus they look too brightly and characters and lines look too thick and lose 
"definition".  

it would help to make lines and characters thinner when they are bright...

I have started experiencing this issue since yesterday. I'm using Chrome 
version 29.0.1547.62 m on Windows 7. This is really really annoying! Please 
save my eyes :(

I've also experienced this bug on Windows 8. Version 29.0.1547.62 m. It makes 
High Contrast barely usable...

Note: Contrary to what one might understand from the reports here, the bug is 
NOT specific to GMail. It happens on almost all sites. 

One example out of many:

The colors are wrong, it's much less readable than it was before.
