A couple minor gripes with the new look

Already there. This is really good. What's next?

That's easily fixed by using a supported browser like Internet Explorer V.6.

But it's so much cooler to say that you use Firebird.

Seriously, I use Firebird because in my opinion, it is a far superior browser. Yes, I occasionally have problems with some pages, but overall, I find it to be much better in almost all ways, and it doesn't support the evil empire. If I have problems, I use Mozilla 1.6 (which Netscape is built on), and is supported.

I like the new base color - gold or whatever - much better that the previous thread title color. Thanks for the change!

Thanks, as I said in the announcement, I'll be working until 3 on changes like that one - also note the user names have been taken down to 12 pt font from the 14 pt they were at.

Ouch! A bit too orange to my tastes. Maybe a compromise between that and the yellow that was supposedly too bright may be found -- myself, I preferred the yellow.

(I know it's an ungrateful job. People are never happy. You can't please everyone. Don't take this complaint bad. )

I'd like a theme without links changing colors etc (no a:hover), and a theme without these "post icons" (very few use them).

Here are a couple of more ideas: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1386543&postcount=63

Thanks!

Oh yeah, forgot that, thanks Psionicist for remining me.

The a:hover color for links is a sort of dark green. It's kinda unreadable. Maybe a a:hover background color could adress that, or, more simply, changing the color to something closer to normal (like the bright yellow that has been dumped for normal links, I don't think that one at a time would be a problem).

I agree with Keia...much easier on the eyes. Plus, it's a cool color!

Thanks Michael!

I'm afraid I don't help, but I can only echo Gez. I really liked the yellow better than this orange. Sorry!

Perhaps it might find its way back into the "EN World default" style? (Or into a "EN Classic" style?)

I second that.. Orange is not my favorite colour.. What would probably make the most sense though would be to have a choice of different themes (more than "default" and stealth).. for instance, I like a relatively minimalist scheme with relatively compact text and non-orange colors.. and even better, an option for a non-graphics embedded view which would make saving a thread locally for later perusal much more straightforward..

I know these changes/additions would be a lot of work, but since I'm wishing..

But in the meantime, I would plead for a change from orange.. even, perhaps, a simple choice of text color via some control?
