    Didnt someone have a solution to block all the changes? I dont mind this one, but a lot of times, they just plain suck, and the designers need to go back to color theory.

    I have to agree. it is really annoying. This is exactly what my computer and HTML teacher told us not to do on the first day of class.

    But in general, I do like these colors together.

    Oh, i can read it.

    its just ugly, unpleasant and probably causing undo eye strain.

    I wish they'd let you set a default for all the forums........i feel like im on mr. toads wild ride.

    I kinda like the revolving color/banner schemes. It's a nice change of pace from other boards I post at that keep the same look all the time. Some of the color schemes are definitely annoying, though.

    It's grey for the text. And I like it. It's that rust, dark rust that give me migraines.

    I like the darker schemes like this, the KOTOR one and the Quinlan one- they're very easy on the eyes, IMO. But it all depends on the banner too- in this case, it supports that errie atmosphere the banner's color scheme portrays. In other cases, brighter colors work better.


    And the rotating banners was my idea, partially inspired by the randomized ones 3SA used to have. But we also have gotten so many great banners, it's the only way they all get their proper due. It also helps prevent the banner imagery from getting stale (I know when I look at some of the old ones, in the back of my head I'm thinking "I looked at you for so long....").

    ok, I operate on 2 different monitors.

    At home, on my LCD, this is a great theme.

    At work, on my old CRT, this is almost impossible to read.

    I think it has to do with backlighting for the blue text...on older monitors it just blends in too much.

    I like dark themes, by high contrast text colors are best for everyone.

    Only the headers are blue on black, and personally, that's what I least look at. And even then, by now you should know what reads where.

    @Jedimarine
    Your CRT's gotta be really old, man. :D I don't have that problem on my one.

    Anyway, if wanted, I can lighten the blue a bit.

    But now it's hard to see which links have already been clicked.
    It also doesn't show the mods at the top.

    Well, one step forward and two steps back eh? :p

    Argh, how many times must I say it?[face_shame_on_you]

    Make sure the clicked links are visually distinguishable from the unclicked links.[face_praying]
