Alternate Blonde theme

[Bream]

Ok - try this one, I've lightened the colours and removed the yellow titles which are not readable on a lighter grey background.

Profile > Look & Layout Preferences > Current Theme (Change)

Select 'blonde 2'

Cheers

One other thing - if the images look blurred at all in Firefox, rest your cursor over the image and press SHIFT+r

This should improve them.

Dave, that's the whole point of the different options - you can pick whichever one you like best. No one is forcing you to change.

I'd like to let things settle down a bit before we do wholesale changes to the theme. Changing the colours in one place can affect the look of a different area very easily because the same colour settings are re-used all over the forum. I thought changing the colours of the main posting areas was essential though to make sure everyone could read things - some people obviously have darker monitors than others and some people are just colour blind

We had to reduce the number of availabe themes because the workload of maintaining them all with advertising changes over time would have been more than could reasonable be managed.

We should be able to manage 2 themes, but we do need to keep to the new blonde colour scheme.

Hope this is ok and we'll measure the response over the next day or so.

Cheers

I do not agree that the comments made should be considered as negativity.  If the colour scheme makes it difficult to read and causes eyestrain then it should be reported.  Obviously a lot of work has gone into the revamp but unless a forum is perceived to be pleasant to the eye its popularity will start to decrease.  The comments should be viewed in the spirit they are given as constructive criticism.

one other bit of feedback, the two logos showing whether or not there are unread posts in a section aren't different enough from each other
