Re: Looks and Appearances Reply #51 – 2014-02-05, 21:06:48 Something along these lines will probably remain for the time being, but you can always write a user CSS. What kind of colors would you have?
Re: Looks and Appearances Reply #52 – 2014-02-06, 02:33:31 Blue is the easiest to look at on screen, for me. Most of my themes lean toward those shades of blue/teal.

What I don't like are the tones being used, specially the header and the page's bottom layer. Also the orange is difficult to match with such blue tones. Being a complementary color doesn't mean to be harmonic.See? It doesn't work in my opinion.I would go more along these tones.
Re: Looks and Appearances Reply #54 – 2014-02-06, 10:28:19 The orange looks pretty decent to me. I mean, it's not like I picked it just because some stupid theory claims it's complementary. However, my screen is a cheap LCD and your screen probably isn't calibrated either. As far as it goes it actually looks better on my higher quality phone screen.Anyway, I'd forgotten to add linear-gradient support for older browsers (do you use Opera 11 or something?). You may or may not like it better now.
Re: Looks and Appearances Reply #55 – 2014-02-06, 10:38:08 What Bel referred to looks rather pinkish to me. I don't like it either, but I can go with it.What I meant (in another thread) is a set of chooseable colour schemes - either preset or customiseable. For example, if I don't like something, I could tinker about it - either choosing another preset or something like "x=1, y=2, z=3" (see how a user can choose his car's colour in this racing game).
Re: Looks and Appearances Reply #56 – 2014-02-06, 10:48:39 Thanks to the changes I made it's easier to create a userstyle now.
Re: Looks and Appearances Reply #58 – 2014-02-06, 11:30:44 No, I mean there's less that needs to be overridden. Userstyles are a browser thing. I've already added one aspect of userstyles as a site preference, but I don't want to slow down processing too much. In any case I don't have the time.
Re: Looks and Appearances Reply #60 – 2014-02-06, 22:19:18 @FrenzieThe new Logo looks great, & the colors are comfortably smooth to the eyes now. Good Job Fran!!
