I have changed to the new black theme, using Firefox 2.0.0.1, Mac OS X, 19" monitor at 1280x1024.

The forum section fits fine!

P-E has the problem nailed in his answer

Nothing we have done in the new/alternative themes should have changed the layout of the site, or how it displays sections in your browser

Black is good for me

I see, sorry, that thread passed me by, and there is a direct link in a recent comments section, so it would seem that the answer has been nailed this time.....thanks!

Just trying to keep you on your toes!

No need to be sorry lolyton, if you don't bring possible issues to our attention they may pass us by and not get fixed. If they are not issues at least we can explain what's going on

Thanks to the members who have given me extra rep points, they are much appreciated

I definitely like the blue. It has eradicated at a stroke the one problem I have always had with the grey theme: I could never see the cursor when typing so editing was hard work.

I don't know what it is looking like to others but the black theme is horrendous on my screen at work. It is so dark i can't see any border lines between frames and things so it all merges into one.

Still, I am not a mono freak like a certain person I could name that starts with d, endis in e and has av in the middle

I'll let him play with the dark version and stick to this lovely cool blue which is terrific to read.

The reason I am not going for red is that i think it will affect the way I see some coloured photos with red around them. Only personal taste of course so we will all settle on the ones we like. But people with taste will all use blue <gggg>

Cheers
Rob

People with taste will use the default DG theme...the others have been provided for choice

P-E · 31-01-2007, 18:40

I must say I have had look at them all and did like the blue but have now gone back to the default DG

.

Only problem is the pixalo team now show in green which is a little difficult to see.......there's no pleasing some people

I like the black, except the text is not very bright + thus I find it a bit of a strain to read. Not keen on a pale BG (which the red + blue have), so I too stayed with the old grey scheme, which I'm very happy with, except for the green Crew names, which I can't actually read at all when they're on the dark grey, e.g. main Community page.

Nice to have a choice

***Steve*** · 31-01-2007, 18:53

I agree about the Crew colour. I am having a play currently but it is tricky to find a colour that works equally well on all the themes. I would welcome suggestions

Charlotte · 31-01-2007, 18:56

How about "DarkRed"

Just tried that and it looked great on all the themes but matched the members names on the red theme

You could just use bold italic to distinguish Crew names?
