New Look and Feel

[Guest edc]

Will there be an option for a lighter or "default" style theme for the board? I tried to find an option but it either isn't there or I am blind.

The new site looks good but I just prefer all of my forums to be dull and plain and light.

There will be a lighter version coming but it will be a few days at least before that happens. I need to finish building it with the dark theme so that it will be easier to copy my work onto a lighter version.

Thanks for the hard work David. Looks good!

[DaveTN]

Where will the color option be when it becomes available?

[dralarms]

I like.

[enfield]

I like the dark theme - it's easy on the eyes. Looking good overall - snazzy!

I like it as well.

The only problem I have is the white lettering on a black background. For some reason it is really hard for me to read.

If it was black lettering on a lighter background I think it would be better for me. Not sure if you can option that but it would be great.

I have the same problem to a point and there are few posts that I've given up on trying to read because of <perceived> lack of contrast. 'Course it might just be a sign that I need to spend less time staring at my laptop screen and more time being a productive member of the household.

Otherwise, I love the new look!

I think I like it too. Sure was a shock the first time it loaded.

[Fourtyfive]

Works fine for me.

[R1100R]

I like it but after a few minutes it's giving my tri focals hell. I'm new to wearing glasses.

I like the new look. But, it has been a little screwy on firefox. Even some earlier yesterday. It will freeze and start hogging memory and is stuck on 25% or 50% cpu usage.

Anyone else or is it me?(probably me)

Really dig the new look.

[Smith]

I like it and I usually don't care for the dark themes due to the reading difficulties others mentioned. I don't seem to have the same problem on this one. Looks really good.

Same here. There's plenty of contrast.

the new look is fine and all, I have no preference as to light or dark background.

But one thing I have noticed on some posts with the dark background is that if people used a colored font previously the posts are impossible to read.

I am sure that in itself is not a concern in the big picture, but is there a way for this software to convert their colored font to white? Sort of like how the black colored font is now white. ( if that makes sense.)

Anyway the new look is nice.

Sgt. Joe comes to mind. Haven't seen one of his posts yet, maybe because they're invisible now

I like the new look, especially the effect the dark background has on posted pics. It really makes them "pop" out.

maybe the black background will make him get with the program. haha

[JeffsSig]

Just have to use a bigger font.

Hope he doesn't have to go back and retype all that stuff

[Will H]

One suggestion. There is a link a the top for new posts. It would be nice to have one at the bottom too. Maybe above the Previous Thread/Next Thread buttons?

Just have to use a bigger font.

Most browsers have a way to increase the size of a website's text and graphics. On Internet Explorer, it's in the bottom right corner. You'll probably see it saying "100%". Pull that down and select whatever ratio you like. I also have a little trouble seeing the white on black text. Making my browser view 125% seems to help.
