i dunno why i'm seeing it in a different colour.. know me missed out lots.. back in london..but out of touch with everthing xept art galleries.. 

why is the design so different?? and there are ads for windows 7 where it used to be marketplace ads.. and the right hand bar is all changed.. 

huh???

I'm feeling blue!

New Look Rosie...it happens from time to time but this time there was no logo contest preceeding it so we were taken by surprise...on staff we beta'd this last week.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

 

 

 

 

 

i thought my monitor had gone to h**l :lol:

I don't like the bright blue background. Especially when viewing the galleries as it battles too much with the image thumbnails and is generally just too hard on the eyes.

Teal isn't it?

It looks more modern looking, I actually like it.

I like it as well and I spend a lotta time here...I find it easier on my eyes but then I am colour blind.. ...

I don't like the new look either.
Way too blue, for me.

Hi rosie,

I too got surprised by this color/style change... and as many other members, don´t like it at all.

The OLD coloring was imo much more convenient for my eyes, w/o such offensive blues, w/o distracting gradients, with its much better contrast for legibility esp in forums.

Thus I´d like to get an option, to either change this ugly/cheap coloring or to simply revert back to the old color scheme. Besides of that, I would like to view Gallery Images immediately at their FULL SIZE as was before! (Suggestions, which I already posted in an according thread.)

Well, it looks less old then the previous design, but it's still at least 10 years outdated... Why doesnt renderosity get some proper designers to do this stuff? i mean.. this is a graphics community.. its supposed to look at least halfway decent right?

Okay, granted, its not as terrible as the previous version.. but apart from that.. its not really very good either?

Last time there were some savy members who wrote some hacks and made them available through the community forum that gave members a choice of color combinations.  I am hoping this will happen again. 

The blues are okay in forum but not the greatest choice for viewing galleries.  I would vote for a toned down neutral background there, not the brightest most saturated blue on the color chart for sure.

If 'Rosity would implement their CSS using SASS they could just build us a simple tool to easily set up the site's palette to our own liking...

There's a CSS Forum thread that has a workaround to dial up yor own preference clay

Ok question.. why should we have to do our own copy/paste of css? And where is the editor thing they say in the CSS forum? I couldn't find it.

the letters w, t, and f did cross my mind when I logged in tonight...;) And my font size is set to 'legal fine print' alladasudden....;)

Clay, look under the upper most banner "Art Gallery"  or Welcome to Renderosity Forums".  There you will see a link .  When you click that the CSS editor box will be near the bottom of the page. Copy/paste the script into that box and save.

I use nruddock's script and tweaked it to my own color choices.  The screen shot is what I liked better than his original choices.  I can give you the colors I used or you can google for "css color codes" and come up with your own.  I've got on small issue yet but at least I got away from blow your eyes out blue. 

Ok i know how it works etc, but why this really Bizzare change, maybe I'm grumpy but this just seems silly. whatever:-(

If you use Firefox, they have an add on called "Color this Site" that you can use to change the color. I've now got a very nice, easy on the eyes color for my background.

There's an extension called Stylish which is for both Chrome and FF.
According to the blurb it's a GreaseMonkey for CSS.

Sweet little add on.

I find it strange that if you want colour options you have to play with CSS codes.  A lot of web site users have no clue what that means.

Why not have an interface that you can pick up and choose colors based on a colour palette?

Its cool for the Super uses who are tech savvy enough to play with HTML code ets..But there should be an easier way for the non tech savvy.

That's exactly what I was trying to get acroos Analog

There was something like that before the switch to PHP. Though it was simple, it was good enough, and it was easy for anybody to use.

When they introduced user stylesheets, they found that those had some unintended consequences (nothing bad just useful), so they disabled the use of certain bits of CSS.

Seems to me the site is faster, something to do with the colour perhaps ?????

WHO said Kiwi's can't Fly ?????

It doesn't matter how pretty the baby is, crap is still crap and I personally thing this new colour scheme belongs in the nappy bucket.

Kinda feel like I missed something, with the new design and all. Eh... should probably log in more than once a year. 

I liked the darker colour better, but certainly not the black. To each his / her / it's own i suppose.
