High contrast colors

The last game I scored on the iPad was a bit difficult due to the very bright late afternoon sun and clear sky. Before the game my wife was reading on the iPad using iBooks and I noticed that the sun was not a big factor for her. It seems the high contrast of the black text on a white background fights through the glare on the screen pretty well.
Has there been any talk of adding an option for a high contrast color scheme? My car GPS display has a day/night option that works great to optimize visibility for daytime driving and minimize high glare at night.
If anyone has another suggestion (besides taking a tent to every game) let me know.
p.s. I can't wait to try out the updates today. I'll be scoring a fastpitch game this afternoon on the iPad and need to get all my data imported from my iPod. The update comes just in time.
Thanks..

Yes, we have been talking about creating a high contrast version. With the iPhone version, it is not as much of a factor, but with the iPad, the sun can become more of a factor. Watch for an update in this regard in a future release.

Just wanted to say that the high contrast skin worked great this weekend in the bright direct sun and bright slightly overcast conditions.
Now I have to overcome the high temperature shutdown issue! Can you put in a fix for that?
Thanks, FTM.

Unfortunately high temp shutdown fixes would have to come from Apple.

That would be an iPad issue, not an iScore issue.
Maybe someone can create a case that includes air conditioning.

Roger that.. I just thought since you all were so amazing that you could fix that right up with a little software update. Maybe you could put a setting in options to turn the temperature of the sun down as well.
Thanks again FTM. Rock on.

We'll get right on that... we'll put the sun temperature dial right next to the "rain, rain, go away" button and the "glasses for the umpire" button (no offense Bryan).

Amen to that OhioTex. This is my first season not in the dugout and I can't believe the parent chatter, I don't know how my wife has endured it all these years. An addition to the parent silence button is that when you swipe the button it removes them to the parking lot.

And maybe a button to place a food order at the snack shack.
