Changing the skin

Tian Zi · Jul 14, 2008

Is skin the right word? The default Black back/white text makes me nauseous! I'm taking -2 penalties all over the place.

feel free to email me at m domezio AT hotmail

Nauseous? That sounds serious; I'd see a doctor.

Themes are on the to-do list.

Why would I be emailing you, though? I'm mean, don't get me wrong, I'm positively delighted that I'm free to do so.

Great, thanks for the reply. I'll suffer through the dizziness and headaches... but maybe that is from some of the posts on here!

Looking forward to the old themes.

Please hurry. I'd really like to come back to the forum but I can't read this white on black crap for more than a few seconds.

A least default to something that's not painful to read in.

This has been EN World's default appaearance for 8 years, and an important part of its trade dress and branding. It's never going to change; sorry.

But we will have alternatives available as sson as we can.

Oh, I had no idea. Because I changed it the second I logged in as I wanted to actually read the posts instead of going cross-eyed.

Wow, being hard to read and causing eye strain as part of branding. Now that's something to be proud of.

EDIT: If you're on Safari, you can disable CSS by dragging the "Disable CSS in Safari" javascript link on this page into your bookmarks. The page retains cohesion and is also readable.

Simply go to the offending site, and click on the "Disable CSS in Safari" bookmark and presto, readable page.

I also have difficulty reading the default layout for more than a few minutes before blurriness sets in. I was fond of the "Player's Handbook" (I think it was called) skin which was similar to the WotC boards.

I know you folks have been hard at work with the upgrade so I'll be patient.
