Sorry for the large image example, but for me it took all of 2 minutes to return to the way I had everything set up before the change-over. The only thing I can't change are the top and side bar colors, but with the black background I've chosen it looks OK to me. As far as newbies go...I'm going to give most of them credit for enough brains to figure out how to adjust colors to their personal preference, as that option appears on their profile page. This site is still well organized and very well managed. Change can be hard to accept for some people, but most people DO accept it and DEAL with it. It's been so long since the makeover that I'd nearly forgotten about it. IMHO Renderosity remains the best artist community on the Internet.
