If you're not enjoying it, don't do it.I believe you that it's a huge amount of effort to make these new styles. Which leads back to my original question: why do it if the current style is working okay? I mean, if there isn't a compelling reason to make the change, why bother, given that it's so much effort?Nothing looks more mechanical than repeating patterns -- the textures currently part of this theme look MORE mechanical than the flat colours we had before, not less. Take a look at the great dialog sites on the net -- SlashDot, A List Apart, Wikipedia. Look at the Creative Commons site. Heck, look at Google, probably the most useful site on the entire internet. They don't look mechanical, they look SIMPLE. USEFUL. COMFORTABLE. They don't sprawl with repetitive texturesI spend a lot of time on ENWorld -- and I PAY to do so. When you go ahead and make a bunch of changes without consulting me, and make the site significantly less useful to me, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to tell you I'm happy about it. If that makes you angry, well, again I'm sorry. But like buzz and Turanil have said, I consider it important that I contribute my opinions to the discussion on how this site should look. You're free to ignore them, of course.Nobody knows better than I how much work you're putting into this, Mike. I'm not trying to call you names. I'm trying to tell you that this appearance makes the site less useful to me.</blockquote>
