Forum colors

Hello.

can you change the colors on the Forum.

The dark gray and even darker grey writing is really hard to read. The font size makes it even worse.

Non of us are getting any younger.

Thanks...Martin

I am working on getting the e-mail account back up and running. When we switched hosts it went down.

Is the white text better?

5seven · Post by **5seven** » 14 May 2010, 18:19

Yes the white text is MUCH better.

Post by **blueorison** » 14 May 2010, 19:35

I prefer light grey. The white is blinding. Even the lightest grey is better than blinding white text

White is better for me so fare.

I HATE WHITES

Oh wait. No I HATE WHITE. Grey was baller. You single handedly ruined the forum. Again.

Post by **jmz5** » 15 May 2010, 04:12

I think we might try a light shade of gray later. The white is not working out with me.

ddouglas · Post by **ddouglas** » 15 May 2010, 09:02

Resist the pressure from these young whipper snappers, fuzzy. They are probably on drugs and they have become light-sensitized...eyeball-frazzled..bug-eyed. They probably never go outside in daylight. The white text is much easier to read against the darker background. If they're not suffering from the above, it is because they are reading the forum in a totally darkened room...the solution for them is to turn on a background light.

And so it began, the two factions of LIGHT AND DARKNESS would for all eternity, be thrown into a tumultuous vortex of conflict and war.

Somewhere, deep inside the PRK, the congregations of EEEEVIL rejoiced.

I think it will be a single, short, decisive battle. Then text will turn light grey. :laugh:

Yes. If I want low contrast I'll hunt bunnies in the desert.

How is it now?

f3rr37 wrote:How is it now?

It looks... white? What about another shade of grey that's a TAD darker? So everyone can be happy :laugh:

Post by **f3rr37** » 15 May 2010, 19:01

The adjustment is slight. The next step would be even darker...

OLD
NEW
EVEN DARKER

Post by **Rapier1772** » 15 May 2010, 19:03

I think you should mess with them Fuzzy. Make the text the same color as the back ground :lmao:

Post by **f3rr37** » 15 May 2010, 19:07

Uh, no... Justin and I would get hammered with emails.

Post by **blueorison** » 15 May 2010, 19:18

You can't tell a difference b/t old and new.

Even darker is perfect!

If you say so! :p

I just wanted to make it not quite as sharp as the white tends to be against this background.

Thanks Fuzzy! Looks great. I think it's a excellent compromise.

As in, I-sure-as-hell-got-what-I-liked-awesome! :laugh: kind of compromise.
:lmao:

In all seriousness I hope this works as the best compromise.

I like it Jake. Thanks!

ddouglas · Post by **ddouglas** » 16 May 2010, 07:50

Go back to the OLD that is in the above message. Please.

ddouglas · Post by **ddouglas** » 16 May 2010, 07:55

...or make it an option for the user. High contrast is much easier to read and I prefer that. If the cranked-out, bug-eyed, cave-crawler types can't tolerate the bright white, let them select the low-contrast style so it doesn't frazzle their brains more than the drugs they use. But for us somewhat older, sober, non-druggie types, the higher contrast is much easier.

For what its worth, I have a really hard time reading this forum as well. Everything seems dark to me. Do you have a tritium font?

If you haven't noticed yet Jake, there is no way you are going to please everyone. It will always be too light or too dark for someone.

My vote is to make it a setting option if possible or just pick one & keep it
