Just getting some feedback...will run this for a week n see who likes what...
 
The first time I saw this current blue, it was a little bright for the eyes but I've gotten use to it. I don'th think you should go darker, but maybe a little less bright if that's possible. (a steel blue maybe) and definitely not lighter.

I still like the purple too. ;) Am I helping? :angel:

I'll keep coming onto Martial Talk no matter what the color is really. However, this blue does seem too bright to me. I liked it the way it was before.

Both this Blue and the Purple is my Vote
 
It is possible to do multiple 'themes' for the way things look. I'm looking into it now, but it depends how much of a PITA it'll be before I do much. I honestly do not feel like rehacking in the 130+ modifications we have here to more than 1 'theme'. If I can copy an existing one, and then just 'recolor' it, it becomes much more 'doable'.

Please, keep the feedback coming. :asian:
 
The more I see it the more I like the current blue color. For constructive criticism, I would think about changing the red and green "New posts/ No new post" markers.

Just my 2 cents. :)
 
Hey, I just noticed that I can change the shade of blue myself. I like it darker and not so bright.

I just added in a new feature to allow folks to change things themselves. It actually allows alot more tweaks than I'm doing right now. Currently, 3 colors, default, deeper blue, and darker blue.

But please, keep voting.

The blues are all too bright, regardless of what shade...

Is there any way to tone down the vividness of the colors? It is a little overpowering (although the colors won't keep me from coming back)...

Also, I preferred the old style where, between posts in a thread, there was a greyish color separating each post as opposed to the solid color bar that is there now. I sometimes skip posts because I think I have come to the bottom of the thread, only to find out later that I missed something by not scrolling to the bottom of the page...

Thanks for all the work you do on this! I know I appreciate it!
 
there are some blues in the standard web palette that are not so vibrant, they have more of a greyish tone to them. i'd specify some if i wasn't at work right now. maybe later.

anyway...i vote down with purple...please no more purple...
 
When I have a few minutes, I'll add in the old color scheme on what you can pick from. (Its also selectable in the user control panel, under options, near the bottom I believe).

tarabos, I took a quick look at that site..looks nice. I'll give a closer look a little later on tonite. I also have some other feedback in PM and emails to work through.

Please, keep the feedback coming.

That was a good choice. Let the people pick the skin they want. Cool. Keep up the good work.
