Struggling With The Colour

[Alan de Enfield]

The old eyes dont seem to like reading Black on a brown background, any tips on changing the colours to get a bit more contrast ?

Same here. A lighter background would help.

Is this new Khaki scheme some sort of camouflage exercise?

The old "battleship grey" was a bit easier to read.

Or is it a browser thing: Explorer vs. Firefox, for instance.

Does this mean everyone has brown eyes and is full of it?

This must be the start of Global Browning.

Before anything, think we should give Doug and his good lady, a Big thanks regarding the upgrade, colour Seems ok to me, think its more to do with change than anything else, one sign of getting older, we dont like change.

Duke,

You're right. I should have acknowledged that first and it's a helluva nice looking overhaul I must say Doug!

I think the changes will grow on us, but my tired old work monitor simply won't cope with the new "skin". All the words in the dark brown areas are essentially invisible! The only way I know they're there is when the mouse pointer traverses 'em.

Oh, haven't found the link to the forums yet. I found this thread by using the "new posts" button.
This going to bre really tough until I can "see."!

Having the edit functions directly at hand is good- I need all the help I can get....


ETA: How old are the monitors here?- We probably have 40 stations in the shop and they just about all have the "Y2K compliant" stickers on 'em!

Also, not trying to kill the celebratory mood but:

getting script errors as follows (2 of them differing only in the char reported

Line: 1
CHAR: 29 (ALSO) 37

ditto, don't want to criticize, nice look and all, if it was a lighter background my eyes would read it easier too.

Same,Same, brown back ground is hard on old eyes !!!!

BTW, if you get script errors, the best way to get bumped off the site and have to start over is to hit the "yes-no" buttons- just "x" it out! (Five times in three minutes I got "bumped")!
