For an example, go from pure sunshine into a dark place and you'll see practically nothing. Go into that same place at night and you'll see things you've never been able to see. The same holds true here. The white balance will overshadow the image's colors, especially a dark image.

Tommy, light colors only serve to distract, not to accentuate. From an artistic point of view, the colors that are lightest will be closest to the viewer, thus more catching to the eye. If you make it a light color, then what is catching to the eye is not the elements of the image, but the background. This will not serve to make the banners, store promos, images, etc, more seeable if that is the reason for this change, which I doubt it is.

Please don't go the RDNA route. While I love their site, I find it very difficult to read most of the time...

If something works, I don't see the point in fixing it. And while I don't really see it as not being professional enough, if that is the motivation, then there are a lot of sites that do black backrounds that are very well done. Check out some of the gaming sites for instance.

To me, the best solution is to take some extra time and code it into an editor where people can change it to whatever they want. Maybe more work, but it will please everyone in the long run, instead of forcing what people don't seem to like down their throats. Maybe just have a single color option to allow people to pick the background or provide pre-made skins. Then you could have artists making skins for Rosity. That would be cool. But to just close it off after offering an option for so long seems to be a bad idea. In that 7%, how many of those changed the background color versus changed just the sidebar colors?

Crescent: I'm glad Rosity is reading this thread and considering our words...Thanks...
