Help - New Blinding look?

[Relique du Madde]

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen, and change the setting of the pulldown box to "black"

My eyes thank you.

Ugh, I preferred the classic black look. Time to change my settings I guess. Probably still gonna be this obnoxious bright white/yellow/lilac color whenever I visit though, before logging in each time, since I don't stay logged in 24/7. My first impression was that the new look was as obnoxious and ugly as Gleemax.

The black helps to brand/ distinguishes the site and gives a real good contrast. The white at #fffff0 is kind of blinding. Ghost White: #F8F8FFis a variant often used to reduce glacier burn.

Ghost white

vs

retina burn

lettering wise there seems to be little difference.

I think I prefer the white background overall, but I agree with Maggan that everything needs to work with it. The bar along the top with Profile/Settings, Forum, etc. looks strangely floating, and my status text is bright green on a blue background now, which is hard to read.

But for reading threads, I'm digging the dark text on a white background. At the very least, it's a good option to have available, even if the default is switched back to black.

Just be thankful Morrus rejected my Butt Hurt skin design...

Yeah, I gotta say, both of the bright schemes are awful.

The black is great- easy on the eyes, highly readable, mellow.

That said, I appreciate the need and reason for a white background version of ENWorld, hope what there is now works well enough to get by for those that need it and hope that you guys come up with a less eye-shocking version in the future.

CSS editing is not something I'm clever enough to do. This is just one of the two themes made in this thread.

I'm more than happy to try other schemes, but it needs someone to provide me with the CSS code, just like in that thread. If you want to try and edit one of them and make it a little less bright, feel free!
