Dialling back the saturation a bit, getting rid of the red, nip and tuck a little. How about a brown, red and green option? Call it RAC specific....

Leo Niehorster Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If you ask people's opinion, you are not going to reach a consensus. If its about their taste, you will have a many-sided civil war. Make a decision as manager, and stick to it. -- Leo (Who likes the current Tanknet (default) color combinations.)

JasonJ Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If there is high limit on the number of themes, then various themes can be made. If only four, probably worth changing the poetry one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Imo, you want a minimum of soft or muted, neutral colors with high letter to background contrast.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssnake Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Yeah, but the highest contrasts (pure white on deep blue, white on black) are actually a bad choice. The board default uses, FEX, dark grey text on light grey background, for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board default uses, FEX, dark grey text on light grey background, for good reason. A good point. I think most of the posters here are into or close to the presbyopic age group and a higher contrast makes letters easier to see. Would black letters on a lighter blue or grey background be possible? As a rule, the darker colors need to be letters and the background a lighter, different color. A disclaimer here in that I am probably the most computer illiterate poster on TankNet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickard N Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 When you choose the "Vogon Poetry", you almost can't change back since the contrast, or lack of it, makes it hard to find the menu again  /R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The new default would be perfect if it didn't use red for quoted posts. Vogon poetry is the second worst colour scheme of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I actually prefer this over the white one which I REALLY didn't like. But yes it's still too harsh and contrasty. Pastel colours ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
