The whole screen will be blue soon, how many more bars do we need to be slightly different tones of bl00?

I find this skin much harder on the eyes than the standard Jforum tbh, not that its painful, but the original is more "ergo" imho. its just that most folks set the brightness on their monitors too far up and sit in dark rooms.

Thats why I specifically didnt choose high contrast colours, the white is more silver and the blues are not depressingly dark; I thought it was easier on the eyes too. To be fair, a 22" CRT makes any page seem bright though.

got 1000:1 contrast ratio on this thing... anything is bloody bright lol

This is better than the original TF colors. White on really dark text is very annoying to read. I did notice the silver text. ;)

I use a laptop which has **** all adjustment available without going through a load of hoops. Present forum skin is very nice indeed but I did prefer the Black option :)

maxi we all occasionally have to make compromises for the forum good  ;)

looks awsom now, just like old times :)


for the best readability... I think gold text on a black bacground is suposed to be the best ?  least that was what I was told at A-Level  was in quite a few books too, so its not just what some guy thought...  (not that Im sugesting it)

Hell, I helped tweak the interface on this board, albeit in a small way, didnt think I was bitching, just making commentary.

Im not a fan of high contrast, nor of wiseguys that do the grey text on white background baloney.

The level of contrast on the board is OK, I just prefer the light/dark reversed. :P

We are all different so while it may be best for a majority of people it certainly wouldnt suit everyone.

you should be able to store your own style sheet locally, and thus make your own :p

Okay, the original gradient bar is here to edit:

It will look much nicer.

if you could make the category titles a different colour it would look better as the back ground to that bar has to be so much lighter than the rest of the forum IMO
