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.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JasonJ 0 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rick 0 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Imo, you want a minimum of soft or muted, neutral colors with high letter to background contrast.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ssnake 0 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rickard N 0 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DB 0 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yama 0 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
