As I said before, his DOES display more digits on his duty status box, whereas mine merely had a few minutes. If that affects the brightness, I do not know. The bright boxes themselves are of similar dimensions; this may be due to colour, or different gamma settings, but his chat log is also brighter, as well as his mini map and inventory. I'm partially willing to give him the benefit of doubt, as I don't see it as that significant a difference. You probably see different, but that's fine. I'm just providing a different viewpoint.
