There is a class .note-version which has been built into the drupal.org CSS. Its CSS properties apply a cross-hatch background from the file /sites/all/themes/bluecheese/images/bg-white-blueprint.png.
While it is technically WCAG 2.0 AA compliant for contrast, it is distracting for me and presents a cognitive load when trying to comprehend the content that is being conveyed by the text within the cross-hatch.
Please either remove that style from the website or else provide a preference in my profile to not show the cross-hatch. I'd prefer to see the style removed, as that has the lowest barriers for all website visitors to achieve.
I recognize that I can override that style in my personal style sheet (and will likely do so until this issue is resolved); however, there does seem to be a movement in browsers away from support of personal style sheets, so I cannot be sure that this workaround is durable. And that said, I am seeking a solution which would work for all website visitors with this particular cognitive issue, not just for myself or for those with the requisite technical skills.
1. Go to the Event - Condition - Action (ECA) project →
Expected result: No text has a pattern in its background. I can focus on the content.
Actual result: The sections "Invitation to online ECA meetings", "ECA Guide", and "Documentation" have a cross-hatch background. I have to filter out the background mentally, which distracts from my comprehension of the content.
Remove the background image from the .note-version CSS class.

It affects the ability of people with disabilities or special needs (such as blindness or color-blindness) to use Drupal.
I can see how this background could be distracting.
To preserve some of the design element, would it be workable to keep some of the grid on one of the sides?
I personally prefer the grid on the left, which is above.
CSS for this: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 20%), url(/sites/all/themes/bluecheese/images/bg-white-blueprint.png)
