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.
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'.
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.
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.
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.
