    I have to say, Sil's color scheme is a lot easier to look at.



    I wonder if the admins have ever considered putting the matter of the forum colors up for a vote...

    The color scheme that we had before Halloween came as the result of member input. The Communications forum was used to test various color schemes and in the end the one that was generally agreed to be the best was adopted.

    It may not have been an actual vote, but there was considerable member input and IMO it worked out very well.

    I like Silmarillion's board colors also, much easier to read, and more soothing on the eyes. :)

    I still like the banners, but the colors... :(

    Thank you Sil :)

    I was just about to go back and look ;)

    Edit: Yeah, I like that one alot more. This one doesn't really bother my eyes, but that one is alot easier on them, and probably for everyone elses.

    My impressions of the old theme: calm, cool, relaxed, friendly, serious.

    New theme impressions: Very bright (not in a good way), hurtful to eyes. I'm finding myself turning down the brightness just to read topics for a while.

    Don't get me wrong. I think the new one is good graphically speaking and I'm sure alot of work went into it, but I just cant stand the color scheme. Perhaps keep the new banner and related images, however, give it a new paint job... something close to the old one. Just mho. :)

    No offense to Sil, but that color scheme is in no way better than this one. It's actually brighter than this one. Give this scheme some time and I think people will get used to it. But then again I have yet to see a new scheme that people didn't complain about.

    "Give this scheme some time and I think people will get used to it."

    I dont want to get used to it. That's like saying "oh its ok to look directly at the Sun, your eyes will get used to it" .. ok maybe it's not as harsh as that.

    Seriously, like 3 minutes have gone by; I turned around away from the monitor and everyhting else in my house had a yellow tint to it.

    I usually have my montior set to 100% Contrast and 0% Brightness. I have found that I have to set the Contrast to about 35% just to look at this thing.

    Please, make it any shade of blue, purple, green, grey, etc.. any "cool" color.

    Actually, I just noticed that too, I looked towards a wall to see what the cat was up to, and my eyes had to adjust from the yellow, and everything had a tint for a second or two.

    Yeah, I'm looking away and stuff is looking yellow too. But its prolly just because of this crappy ceiling light I have. Who knows?

    We should seriously adopt Sil's colors. Not only are they easier on the eyes, the old icons don't look bad on them.

    I love the banner itself. I wish the colors would be changed to something easier to look at.

    But good work anyway.

    You people say that after staring at so much yellow, you see everything else as yellow too?

    Well, you're either lying, or your eyes have a serious defect. When you stare at any vibrant colour for any length of time, your eyes will retain the image, but it won't be the same colour.

    After you stare at the sun, do you see sun-coloured spots? After you stare at a Japanese flag, do you see a big red dot? No.

    Quitcher' storytelling.

    I like Sil's except for the orangey colour where it says: Author etc. The colour itself I don't mind but I think it sort of clashes.

    I like the banner, but the colors ...

    Let's just say that I've been spending more time - a LOT more time - in the JCC, 3SA, Lit, and all those boards that have gray backgrounds. The yellow hurts my eyes.

    I think the banner's alright (small complaint: not everyone has the higher screen resolution you know. Put more OT characters in the front banner, dammit. [face_plain]), the colours however, are horrid. I like Sil's scheme better. Please change it asap.
