Adafruit is out-of-stock on the RGB LCD displays for the foreseeable future, it seems.
DigiKey stocks a perfectly suitable replacement, except for the fact that the backlight pins are the opposite polarity - common cathode instead of common anode.
From where I sit, it looks like the solution is simply to modify the board to provision a jumper to pin 15 to connect it to either ground or +5, and add an initialization constant to the library to specify inverse logic for the backlight pins.
What do you say, Adafruit?
RGB LCD shield - common anode backlight version?
