Late coming in but please keep the black background, ditch that brown colored whatever it is, it totally clashes with the new logo YIKES!!! Keep the ability to change the color scheme...I'm still not understanding why you would want to take it away in the first place?? Just my dime's worth for the night :) Pendy


Shoshanna ( ) posted Sun, 15 June 2003 at 12:58 AM

I hope you keep the black/very dark background option, I think a lot of images posted here were made with the black background in mind. The sample at the top of this thread looks awful. While you're at it, could I have an option to hide the childishly grim new logo? When will you be holding a new competition for a logo?



bioserge ( ) posted Sun, 15 June 2003 at 5:28 AM

Ok I guess I am a little late in this post, But I hope they atleast give you the option to view the gallery in a black background, It tends to make everything brigter in an image. Imagine looking at a close up of an egg shell, It would stand out. but viewing it on a white background will just make it disappear. Here we go again, Back to adobe calibration. gamma/contrast.... :O(


Kendra ( ) posted Sun, 15 June 2003 at 10:55 AM

I do wish you'd keep the option of personalizing colors. My choices are dark and medium greys in monotone and based on the frenzy everyone else is in over very dark vs very light backgrounds, I'd say I chose a good "in between".

..hmm well I think we should keep the black background.. and choose another logo.. sorry. that one looks like it was made on a Commadore 64! talk about Retro! guys.. thats a Step BACKWARDS from the current logo, not a step forwards!

Dear Crescent- I said I'd shut up- I lied-LOL This isn't a bitch but a thought, I understand some in the back room are argueing for a more "professional" look. But if this isn't the biggest site I know of, at least it's the biggest art site around :) not to shabby for a "unprofessional" design. :) Could it be that the schools are just teaching one way - but it may not be the ONLY way ?


jgeorge ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 2:49 AM

I enter here just to say I prefer the black background...

Thanks for providing feedback. We are discussing your concerns and would like to purpose this as a solution. We keep the default colors as you see above, but let members select their background and text colors. This way members who prefer dark, light or medium colors can have this either way. Would this work? thanks tammy


dialyn ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 11:43 AM

I think that would be a perfectly reasonable solution.


judith ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 11:57 AM

I can definitely live with that! I'm one of those with neither black or light background and text, and my eyes surely do appreciate this solution.

I prefer the white or the mid grey in Tuttle's example in post 67. They are clean looking, easy to read and do not affect the color of the images. Having done color corrections for a living, one of the fisrt principles you learn is to look at color in neutral light for accuraccy. If an image really "does" seem to change when viewing it on a light or neutral background (ie: the colors in the shadows seem to shift or get lost) then it's the image's contruction, and as such needs to be corrected, not the fault of the neutral or light color bleeding away from the image. Personally i woulkd LOVE to see this place get rid of black. Working in graphics and seeing files from others from all over- one thing I have noticed is black= newbie. Just about everyone (who's files i see) who gets a new comp and a graphics app does their work in black. It's old, overused, and detracts from the actual work.


tuttle ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 12:30 PM

"We keep the default colors as you see above, but let members select their background and text colors." Fine by me, but please can we have a single-pixel black border around the image thumbs, like in the example.


Shoshanna ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 12:57 PM

I think that is a great solution, I actually read a thread the other day at a different site which complained that you could get these choices of colours at Renderosity, wanting to have the same choices there. Thank you very much. Shanna :-)



Poisen ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 1:26 PM

is taupe making a comeback? i personaly always thought is was about the ugliest color their was. the corporate mind always baffles me, the first thing they always change is what people like about something, with the pretense that its "new"&"improved", it doesnt matter that just about everyone likes it the way it was,"hence why their here to begin with" we will change everthing that was liked about the old thing that worked, but we will give you something new and improved,and totaly different. but you will like it, trust us! thats how all good things end, want examples?


Cheryle ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 1:34 PM

must uncheck ebot!


dialyn ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 1:36 PM

I did. It didn't do any good. :(


Nightwind ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 1:55 PM

I think the proposed solution is perfectly reasonable and acceptable. I sincerly appreciate the fact our requests were not only heard but considered.


catlin_mc ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 2:37 PM

This sounds like a good solution to this little problem, as long as we have a choice that's all that matters. Catlin


KateTheShrew ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 4:19 PM

Works for me, Tammy. Thanks for listening to us. :) Kate (a happier camper now)


Brendan ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 5:04 PM

Yess!! please Tammy! No option is an option but options are better! Message671414.jpg


MikeJ ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 5:14 PM

I was sincerely hoping that that would be the outcome. Thank you. :)



zhounder ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 5:59 PM

That was my suggestion in the first place, but don't be suprised if your numbers flip from 7% to 93% who use the option!


MindVision-GDS ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 6:25 PM

I suggest to put a vote up for the issue. Renderosity is an artist community but also a commercial website. Making a light background could serve Renderosity itself by maybe a more professional look but if 160000 members change it back to black anyways it just dont make any sense to change it at all. Not to mention the amount of people that will actually leave Rosity for it which cant be a good thing commercialwise. JMHO ~Marco.



Sasha_Maurice ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 6:26 PM

That works! :o)Thank you!


Brendan ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 7:34 PM

Rather brilliant I'd say! I have set my preferences to stay just the way they were and hey!-presto! everything is as it should be! Cheers to Renderosity!!!!!!!!!! Thanking you all. DoubleMessage671414.jpgMessage671414.jpg


catlin_mc ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 8:23 PM

When exactly will these changes happen?


tammymc ( ) posted Mon, 16 June 2003 at 10:56 PM
Site Admin

The changes will most likely take place tomorrow if we can get everything organized by then. We will post a note for people to read who have not kept up with this forum, so they know what is going on. In order to do these changes, we will create the default and then members can make the changes to the text and background. We will monitor the color schemes to see what members are interested....if in fact everyone changes to a certain color... we may change our default color scheme as well. Appreciate everyone's feedback. thanks tammy

Thank you, Tammy, for responding to the feedback! Through the years, I feel it is this element of interaction that has made Renderosity so great. Thank you, Aaron

Thanks...Aaron. :) We have an awesome team and I am proud to be working with them. tammy


dragongirl ( ) posted Tue, 17 June 2003 at 12:53 PM

The new logo is awesome - and I definitely love the black background. Easy on the eyes and makes the images look good! :-)


catlin_mc ( ) posted Tue, 17 June 2003 at 9:35 PM

One more thing about the light background, the link at the top for IM's cannot be read against it. Pale green on a light b/g is illegible. Catlin

we will be changing this. thanks


zhounder ( ) posted Wed, 18 June 2003 at 4:25 AM

Tammy and crew, Thanks for listening! And yes I did change to a black background. I even darkened the text too. my old eyes appriciate your efforts! Magick Michael aka zhounder


KateTheShrew ( ) posted Wed, 18 June 2003 at 12:51 PM

With the restoration of the ability to change the link colors as well as background and text, all is right with the world once again. It seems the text boxes have been resized as well so those of us with 800x600 screen resolutions don't have to spend all day scrolling right, left, right,left for each line of text in a post. YAY!!! As long as I can choose the background, text, and links colors, I can live with the sidebar and top banner colors. I never look at those anyway except to find my links. Much better, guys. Kate (a tad happier now)


catlin_mc ( ) posted Wed, 18 June 2003 at 2:31 PM

There's only one more problem I'm having and that is with the galleries. The boxes for Vote for image, etc, are just about the same color as the text in them, I don't know how to rectify this. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the colors recommended by MindVision for the b/g #1A1615 and text #B5AFAF, if that's any help. Catlin
