ENWorld Blues (New Default Scheme Idea)

[Michael Morris]

Ok, here's a mock-up new default layout scheme. Remember that if work starts on the theme users will have the ability to select their own theme. However, as the default this will be the one that shows up. BTW, I would recommend placing selectable themes as one of those Community Supporter benefits Since this is the default, if you're not a community supporter this theme is what you'd be stuck with, so examine carefully

Looks nice enough. I think you'll see some resistance to a change from the blacks, though, just as a matter of tradition. The boards have been black and charcoal for so long, folks will tend to think of that as part of board's identity.

Which is why that will be the "classic" layout

Looks good to me; I actually prefer those colors to the current ones. I think Umbran's got a good point, though, and it's worth considering.

Best,

Don't jump the gun, folks; any additional color scheme (even if it's a good one!) needs to be okayed before it goes in, and this is a bit of a surprise.

I think the default colour scheme now should stay that way, if you want different ones you should have to be a CS to change them (or not as the case may be). This seems to be change for changes sake because I don't really see the problem with the present one (other than the colour of the box at the top of the reply screen where the font and such gets selected)

I like the new color scheme. I think it would be cool to add it as an alternate, if nothing else.

 

[Cheiromancer]

So blue instead of black?

And a globe centered on North America instead of West Africa?

Am I missing anything else?

Ditto, though I'm a CS who might run with this one.

I like it but EN world has a look that has been hard earned. Changing that for little reason is just likely to upset folks. This would make a fine alt appearance.
