Sorn... Thank you for the suggestions.
I changed the back ground to a near white, with hint of grey.
I changed the text to Black, with item links in a Dark Royal blue... light enough to be different than the black text.
I have the auction window about 2/3 the screen.
These changes alone make it much easier to read, and is not nearly as much of a strain to read... but its still a bit of a strain to try to follow the scoll. I think this is just the nature of how this works, though.

Thank you very much for your insight.
