Maybe something a bit lighter, but the main heading bar was actually never
intended for links (or especially images) in the first place. It's there for
section labels.
Note, BTW, that when an FTX page is rendered for the printer, the main heading
text displays in bold italics -- in the classic style of O'Reilly Nutshell
books -- for example:
http://www.lugnet.com/print.cgi?/publish/ftx/guide/all
http://www.lugnet.com/print.cgi?/~469/
It's definitely not meant to be used as a background. It's for high-contrast
text -- white text on a very dark background -- just for section labels.

p.s. The link colors are whatever you define in your web browser; they aren't
redefined or forced to blue/purple.
