Hi,

It is usually a good idea to simplify in order to get to the problem.

After removing the line where you add decal to document.body and restoring 
the code where it is appended to wire, and then wire to document.body, I 
removed the opacity handling to find a faintly visible blue text on a full 
black background.

So I removed the black background and got a perfectly visible table.

Yours is just a color/opacity combination problem.

A practical programming advice is "don't byte more than you can swallow". 
First solve functionality, then tackle design. Or otherwise if you prefer.
