Forum background colours again any change due ??

[Gill]

Has there been any talk on changing the forum colours ? Again i feel they are far too bright and sore on the eyes .This discussion went on a while back and there was talk of changing it ,the option to change you colours yourself were taken away sadly and now any time i spend on BCUK is an uncomfortable one ,I Have just been on BCUSA and they have just changed theirs to more Bushy colours and eye friendly what a difference .Have a peek for yourself.

I have to agree, the colours are a bit harsh. I liked the old one much better

Interesting. I've never seen BCUK look anything other than as it does now, so I find the new BCUSA colours dark and hard to read.

No doubt I'd change my colours anyway though if I had the option.

There used to be a bunch of settings that were much more eye friendly.

I must confess I hate the current colour scheme as it makes me want to reach for my snow goggles on the properly calibrated screens I have here.

I used to have the page on screen all the time but now I have another page as my background which means I don't post as often as I used to.

if i remember correctly there was a bug issue with the colours? i remember they were working on it but must have become less of a priority

Black text on a white background (as on a books page) is the easiest to read - there was a study done on it somewhere. But white text on a black background is less dazzling when used on a computer monitor.

A good compromise is keeping the text black but changing the background to light grey.

I have a fairly cheap monitor that isn't that bright anyway so I don't find the colour scheme to be a problem. Maybe try turning down your monitor brightness?

The problem with that idea is that when I edit a picture I need to know that the result I see is the same as the result a picture editor half a world away will see too.

If I turn my monitor brightness down the images I make at those settings will then appear too bright on a properly colour managed monitor.

I've been reading books with black text on white pages since I was a nipper so pretty much any forum that gives me the choice gets altered to black text on a white page, I can't be trashed with fancy forum page colours.
