Blue?

[Garfield_]

I love the new color, so comfortable for my eyes

 

[MiccyNarc]

The contrast is poor and the front page looks shoddy.
*reverts to default color scheme if no one minds*

 

[Zerimski]

I don't like it It's too dark, there needs to be more contrast between the background and the text.

 

[The Dark Elf]

Haha, this is quite ironic.

When we first had the tan theme replacing a very similar blue theme everyone was saying:

*moving back to blue theme*

Now you're all saying:

*changing back to tan theme*

Bunch of fussynuggles the lot of em

Make it forced pink and green with purple text. Infact just copy any random myspace account, a terror like that'll bring everyone in line

How does it look shoddy on the front page?

 

[$kelet0r]

i'd prefer metallic grey and silver with an orange theme for borders etc.
keeps with the hl theme

 

[Shamrock]

Great.. Its even uglier..

 

[$kelet0r]

not really
compared to so many sites this one is quite good
and the blue is fine - i've no problem with it

 

[clarky003]

traditionale. bon, c'est classique.

We're all using a really cool blue one, you're the only one seeing a crap one because you've tortured us with that bloody Will Smith avatar for far too long now!

Looks pretty sweet imo, although the box where peopls text goes could do with brightining up abit i find it harder to read, maybe its just me.

lol its funny cos its true!

 

[Evo]

Soon as i read we could change back i changed. The blue seemed kinda dull/bland to me (though that maybe my colourblindness), but as we can change, no problem with having it as an option

Links are even harder to read now

Could you please underline them?

 

[Shakermaker]

I just switched back to default. Blue hurts my eyes.

It's 2/3 blue, 1/3 tan, doesn't look good IMO.

3vil's sig prompted this:

Spoiler

Testing.

Spoilers look like crap on Bluebird.

Iirc from my lerking days, it used to be a lighter shade of blue and looked a lot nicer

Haha, you need to hard refresh. Your browser has cached part of the old style.

I'd say it was more gloomy back then:

[Zerimski]

Aahh, it was darker but the text was lighter, that's it But there was a better contrast.

 

[Shippi]

Ooooh I like it

I actually think they are easier

 

[OCybrManO]

The only thing that bothers me is the need to fix my ****ing avatar every time someone decides to change the colors on a whim. No, I'm not going to use any special themes. It has to fit the default theme. That's what most people will be seeing.

Ooooh pretty!

That actually does look alot better.

 

[joule]

Back to blue. <3

 

[MiccyNarc]

I think the forum scheme needs to be worked on a bit more.
Other than that I could grow to like it.

 

[nutcrackr]

I hate change with website styles, but after around 5 days I forget about it and dig the new style. It's probably been said but the blue is too dark for the text making it harder to read than the tan.

 

[Beerdude26]

I really don't like it, but after being threatened by 15357 with a stapler, I've changed my mind.

pleasedontkillme


P.S. I don't like it because it looks a bit too dark. Like this is some emo site :/

 

[Jangle]

so depressing...

/me changes back to default style

ahhh, that's better

 

[Drackard]

Never liked the color blue tbh .... think its a pretty ugly color.

 

[Llama]

Z0MgZZZ

 

[CrazyHarij]

Awful, warmer colors are much better.

 

[Sui]

Iove the new colour, but why is it only in the MIDDLE?
*edit* Wooo blue forum skin!!! :E

 

[ríomhaire]

I prefered the grey.

 

[Chris D]

[ríomhaire]

*changes back to grey*
Much better.

Why don't you use transparency?

 

[Chris D]

Why don't you use transparency?

Because then he wouldn't have anything to complain about!

 

[The Dark Elf]

Ooh does transparency work for avatars then? You know I always wondered, never tried it out.
