If you're referring to the snow of the mountain, I see in now way how someone is going to gaze at that rather than looking at the content they came on there for, in all honesty, and not to mention that the side background are in close peripheral vision so it's not like your eyes will focus on them. Now, I can understand that if some people don't find it memorable enough to be a background, but the fact that you're saying somebody will attend their focus onto dim whiteness of snow in a corner just sounds like a way to repudiate.

As for the link colors, the official TES website pulls them off on a background, and I see now reason to why we shouldn't. It's easy to tell them from mellow blue to black and mellow blue to white. To me, and I'm sure others, will find that really distinguishable. I think you're just overthinking this. You are missing the point I'm trying to say. This is something that is happening when you are looking at photos and websites and it's well known. I know people who have a website for a game and content and ads... and this was what they thought about when designing for a new design. As your eyes are by default drawn to the upper right hand corner, especially if it's brighter.
