I know, my profile is all messed up with the colors, I tried to change just the background and now everything is white...hard to read white on white, only this white for the text is a little whiter and I could barely read this post...can't seem to fix it either, no matter what background color I choose.

I did the same thing as you Sharon (never could follow directions) with the same results, but was able to change the text color to blue. So now I have a white background, blue text and everyone's name is in bold black. :-)

I kind of like this blue text on the white background. Wish I could change everyone's name color to red. :-) The galleries look yucky with the background...at least in my opinion.

I like the black on white. You can read it easier in normal room lighting. Besides, the black web page is so cliche- everyone does it these days, and the whole campaign that started it is long over.

i posted this on another forum here but its seems more relevent in this thread: well thats awful.. love the new graphics HATE, LOATHE and destest the colours... so umm yeah u can change the background to dark, but then u can't see much of the text... I say keep the new graphics but pleeeeeease go back to the old colour scheme.. I and i can imagin others won't come very much.. and i love this site... i feel like its kinda ruined.. :( this has ruined how the art is presented and also how the merchants present there products, it also makes the site look clutterd and very unprofessional!! Sorry to sound mellow dramtic, but well its just it foul.. :( sighs hope something can be sorted everyone i have asked hates the colours... sorry again to be so negative SimderZ xXx **goes to bed, hoping this is all a bad bad awful nightmare
TrekkieGrrrl posted Tue, 17 June 2003 at 5:32 PM
:o( Tried a dark grey for background and a light yellow for text. at least now it's readable, EXCEPT that all read posts now show up in a DARK blue, hardly visible on dark grey background. I like the idea that you can see which posts you've read and I also love the new drop down boxes, but these colours. Even when you TRY to customize them.... sigh At least this will most likely cut down on my online-at-renderosity-time :o(

Log off, close all browser windows, then log back on. (After opening your browser again.) That will help somewhat with background and links colors not working right. No, the link colors are not customizable. I already asked on that one. Don't apologize about expressing your views on the site. So long as it's (at least somewhat) polite, let us how you feel. Trust me, the comments are not going unnoticed.
Spanki posted Tue, 17 June 2003 at 6:17 PM
Comments: I can live with the new logo/layout/etc if: - Please let us set the link and visited link colors I'm guessing relatively few people will end up leaving the background as such a light color and therefore they will be setting the text color lighter. As implemented currently, this leaves the links the same color as the text (which is ok, but some people may want a different color) but you also end up with a near unreadable dark-purplishy-blue visited link color on a (user selected) dark background. - if possible let us set the menu/border colors I can live with the ugly-dull-mauve color, but would prefer to set my own as it looks pretty bad with the dark-grey background color I've chosen.

Hi Have relogged on and I still cant see the thread I posted Dk blue on grey don't work guys and white backgroud hurts my eyes. PLease ditch those 'cursed' dropdowns just because you can dosen't mean you have to use them. One useful thing that would have been a good idea ws to limit the screen size to the size of the users window while in a forum. have it as big as you like for the gallery but I hate having to scroll from one side of the screen to the other just to read a message. at the moment this site looks like it was designed by our software development people at work I mean in this day and age we are stuck with green text and black screens! Sorry just a bit annoyed with the new layout Dave
Connatic posted Tue, 17 June 2003 at 6:31 PM
Please return the site to the old layout. Pulldowns are too cumbersome. White bg is like staring at airplane landing lights. I have extreme nearsightedness, and avoid white bg - I can see the screen reflecting from my eyeballs, reflecting back off my glasses - it's like those endless reflection bathroom mirrors! I changed the colors on my profile page, but the links colors are now a problem. New logo looks like a spilled toolbox. Maybe that is ok. I never liked the previous one.

I agree! Maybe they made the site undesirable on purpose, triggering the response to change the colors, pushing us into giving up the info. It took me several tries, as I did not enter the info until prompted. I buy a lot of stuff here - why do they need to know more about me? I may have to change some of my own habits. I hate having info pried out of me.

Just remember, the color you pick for your forums is the color for your gallery as well. A medium grey with navy text is fine for the forums but has the effect of the default Poser background on my gallery. Hey, I'm not a fine artist, but I didn't think my work looked that bad. It all looks so eeeew Adult. Like corporate. Emily

Well, I'm off to change the colors again. Read a thread, change the colors; read a thread, change the colors. It will be an interesting night. I've tried blues and purples hoping to coordinate with the logo, going with greys and taupes now. I refuse to use that bilious green, though. I'm not afraid of color (my Mac screen is purple, my Earthlink home page is peach & rose, my old WIN 3.1 screens were green and orange)... HOWEVER I need the option to change more than just the text box in order to fix this mess.
chohole posted Wed, 18 June 2003 at 1:09 AM
I gave up last night (gmt time) came back this morning and it is still 'orrible. Ye gods the old default colours were better than this. As a designer I tend to tone things to match, so why not choose a scheme that matches the new logo, or is that just too damn professional. OR give us back the option to change everything to suit ourselves. I used to have Renderosity toned to match my personalised windows set up. Now it looks like crap!!! And please not all of us have large monitors, and many have dodgy eyesight, so why at my preferred resolution for working on other things do I have to scroll to see the whole message. Maybe Rendorosity want to cut down the numbers of people surfing this site.
The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

Charlie_Tuna, the point is that a) Newcomers won't know about the option and may run away screaming, never to come back b) Most background colours makes the links look totally unreadable. Granted on your yellow they will be visible, but still yellow is not DARK and will most likely look horrible as a background for a gallery image

Charlie_Tuna :o) I said that your colour scheme made the links and such look ok (And now you CAN change the colour of the links, WHEEEEE) but the point is still that newcomers WON'T know this and if I send someone to see my gallery they will be stuck with that white background which does NOT make the images look better. We can change it to something readable now, right. The major point is : It shouldn't be NECESSARY to jump thru hoops to be able to SEE a website without sunglasses. Not for oldtimers and CERTAINLY not for new members!
