Lawyer Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 White print is very, very painful. Dark print on lighter backgrounds would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I'm one of the mighty 10% RG colourblind. This hurts; my eyes hurt and I feel anxious. Never had this stong a reaction to a colour combination before. The white on the light background isn't too bad, but the white on dark, and the general gloominess really is unpleasant. Of course, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjelinek Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 The colors give it a more military feel. Green and olive drab. The top of the screen with the tank firing at night is very eye catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auggy Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 WHOA!! I can hardly bear the pain on the eyes! The colors could use a touchup and at least please ...please change he font color to black. I can barely stand to look at the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskander Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Today the Forum colors change and 1/3 of my Department is laid off (I survive... for now). COINCIDENCE?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karch Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Wow. I'm really surprised by the responses. I fine reversed text easier to read on a computer screen. Harder on paper, but I like it on computers. I wonder if it is not an age specific thing. I don't really know the age of anyone here and I'm curious if the I LIKE crowd is the <35 crowd and the DON"T LIKE crowd is older. Could just be aging of the eyes, or younger crowds are used to different type styles. hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson & Crick Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Arrrggg! This is painful. I would rather stare at the sun. Me thinks BTS has cornered the market in seeing eye-dogs and canes! White print on dark is bad. Tone down the colors and goto black print please. If you can bring the font size up a notch that would be helpful. Please fix or do sumfink!

LGMB Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I logged on and practically blew a gasket. I think that a bigger font would indeed improve the sites feel. Also, even if Matt refuses to change it up, I agree that the brighter colors might make this less of an eyesore. Otherwise, I'm content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SnarkerII Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 You can change your colors in Netscape also. Click 'edit' 'preferences' 'appearance' 'color'. Pick your colors, then put a check in 'always use my colors'. I'm fine with scheme, but can certainly understand the problems with some. Oh, and as to changing the site again, did you notice it said "TWO YEARS in the making" on the home page? Do you want Battlefront to change the site, or finish CMBB? * * * * * * * * I know, BTS is making CMBB, just wanted to shock you back to the important thing.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Yes, BTS, please return to darker fonts and lighter backgrounds :eek: (at least on thr forum). The white text is hard on the eyes. The rest of the site looks very good. Very professional. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
