To access the options menu hit ALT-O (it might be CTRL-O.. it's one of the two). Try not to modify too many of the settings but two areas you should play with are 1. wide screen letterbox (move the slider to minimum get a lot of the black off your screen) and 2. chat colors.
In addition to these changes, you can get rid of the gold bars around the various windows and make the black backgrounds transparent by right clicking on them and playing around a bit.
This should give you a lighter UI and allow you to set your chat colors to purples, pinks and whites to tide you over til Cares finishes whatever he has in mind.
