Help - New Blinding look?

[Alzrius]

I'll add my voice to those who prefer the black background. Black is the new black!

A heck of a lot of people complain about the black background. I'm curious to see now it's more in line with most other sites on the web.

Cool! Now the other half of the membership can complain.

I'd be interested to know why people don't like the black. I find this site is easier to read than most others.

There are a lot of interface elements, such as buttons, and images, that are still made to look good in black, even if the background is white. That will strain the eyes and create a dissonance with the reader.

I am not opposed to a white design, but it needs to be designed for white, not merely slapped on.

IMO and all that.

Aside from how many of the other elements are designed for black, there's a very simple reason...

Most of the "legitimate" things one might be reading at work have a white background. White is camouflage!

Loving the new look. I can actually read things now. The black was just too dark.

Morrus;
My personal opinion on the 'light color sceame' is that it gives me a splitting headache. I see we have the option to return it, so if you keep it this way, I have the option of returning back to the dark order.

Doesn't work for storm troopers though.

Oh yeah? Try shooting a Stormtrooper in a big flock of sheep during a blizzard!

How do I get the site back to its dark glory? Sorry if this has been covered many times.
