New style for the forum

Anatoliy · 05-26-2007, 05:34 AM

I'm working on a new style for the forum. It's almost done and I'd like to ask you for feedback. To see the new style select "Sunset" from "Quick style chooser" drop-down menu (left bottom corner).

What do you like, what don't you like, what did I miss? (Don't pay attantion to the blue buttons - I'll modify them).

Hi Anatoily i dont know if it is just me and i am used to the blue but my initial reaction was i had to step back from the screen....a little harder to read posts i feel. Although it is preety it is also harder on the eye.

Hi

I like the colour, however I agree, the blue is easier on the eye to read the posts, can you conbine the ideas in some way or maybe bring the colour down on the actual posts where the writing is so it is paler.

I like the layout.

I like the colors and the combination of colors, it gives it a warmer feel.
(I wouldn't mind having a shirt the same color as the background.

)

I didn't have any problems reading the text but if people are having a problem them maybe you could go a shade or two paler on the background of the area that the post appears in.

I find the blue to be cold and harsher than the Sunset schema but that's just me. Most of the forums I belong to use the blue. The Sunset is a nice change, it's just more inviting to me.

again, just my opinion.

WOW I love it! it is stunning! So warm and... NEW! I am not a fan of present blue layout so this one looks like a wonderful change! I agree with the posters on the pst background... a shade or 2 lighter would do the trick.... otherwise we have to type in bigger and poofier letters...LOL

Sorry I prefer blue

Can't we just leave it like this, that the members can just choose a style by themselves from the quick style chooser so they can either have sunset or blue?

Ooh yeah - the orange is a bit bright!

Blue is definitely easier on the eyes!!!! I prefer blue.

Even though the orange is prettier, it's harder to read.

I will leave mine in Sunset for a bit, and see how well I like it over a few sessions.

I love fall colors, but it is a bit bright!
