Do you like the new skin ?

[Barney_Calhoun]

Might take some getting used to, but it looks a bit better than the other one.

 

[Ren.182]

I like it!

 

[xLostx]

I can't remember what the old skin looked like because I never really paid much attention to it but I do like this one tho, nice and darkish

 

[Fuse Kazuki]

Its okay I guess. I like the blue the best too.

 

[Jangle]

erm.. i dont know how to change back

 

[SimonomiS]

You cant.

 

[Sui]

What was wrong with the blue one? I find this one a bit too contrasted. Can't the colours be toned down a bit, the grey mixed with cream is actually starting to hurt my eyes...

The blue one doesn't fit with the main site style and is one we've had for two years now. I use these forums probably more than anyone and my eyes don't hurt. If it does hurt your eyes then your monitors contrast or brightness is too high.

I remember when we first got the tan skin, everyone was like "ewwww oww it hurts my eyes, too bright"

No I am so used to it, blue looks dumb.

And I don't like how people can have such contrasting skins, because then certain text colors may be visible to one person, and not so visible to another. And it just ruins everything.

Well, It gave me a headache. I wasn't just whining. I don't mind this one, but I'd prefer the old blue one back.

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

I don't think many people have seen this in the other thread, but how about a gradient? I'm not saying these colors necessarily, but it might be something to snazz it up...

 

[Geronimous]

I still don't understand why people have this thing for blue anyway...

Wow...I like that a lot.

I think it would look better with gray/dark gray tho...blue is just too...blah.

...or with a rainbow color scheme! o/

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

I lost the original on the clipboard, but here's something along those lines...

 

[Tr0n]

Rainbow powa!

 

[Feath]

Some people think it looks nicer.

 

[ktimekiller]

its awsome, looks cool

 

[Vesh]

Simpler, faster, less chunky, better.

 

[Danimal]

MY ****EN EYES! I CAN'T SEE!

We need the dark blue again PLEASE

 

[EVIL]

Give us a choice is better, add that fun skin changing thingy so we can all decide for our selves what skin to pick

There's only going to be one as it's too difficult to maintain in the event of us upgrading parts of the forum.

Arrgghh it's a mutant!!

That's what happens when I load up hl2.net after clearing my cache + history in firefox (I mentioned it earlier in the thread).

If I load the forum, it's like that for 2 seconds and then it changes to black

Oh sorry, forgot to add that in my post, mine is like that for 2 secs, I just thought it looked alright (and it's a compromise between blue and sandy)

 

[Homie]

That also happens to me.

 

[Vegeta897]

Woah woah, are you saying everyone has to use this tan theme? YES!!! ALL YOU BLUE PEOPLE WILL CONFORM!! HAHAHAHA!!

It's really much better this way.

And to those who think it's bright, you will get used to it. I did.

Those that think it's bright need to adjust their contrast and brightness settings

or go out in daylight once in a while

 

[Dumb Dude]

Perhaps this has been said already (I skimmed through this thread), but my one and only complaint is that links are hard to spot. Other than that, its great!

 

[Sniper]

I can see the links perfectly, so dunno why everyone is complaining.

 

[Sui]

The worst thing about this new skin, is that I find it impossible to spot hyperlinks against the background. Make them fluorescent blue or something.

 

[StardogChampion]

Yeah, the hyperlinks seem to be the same colour as the text. Maybe make them the same colour as the a:hover, then change the hover colour to something else.

 

[Garfield_]

I like it too, its easy and clean :

 

[Phisionary]

meh. I didn't notice it changed for a day or so.... I can't dislike it too much :cheese:
I'm with this guy though...

...sneaky I didn't notice till I quoted. That's the prblem!

 

[Dumb Dude]

Hahaha, see what I mean, not too easy to see.

 

[TrippyG]

it's nice

 

[The Monkey]

I'm colour blind but I can still see the link very well, so that's not a problem.

 

[Phisionary]

maybe for you. this must be browser dependant, becaqsue they are nearly invisible on mine...

here's a link on mine:
