Black text on white background is much nicer for the eye. |

Black text on white background is much nicer for the eye. I may agree that it is far more esthetically pleasing (white background that is), but the bright light of a white background is torture on the eyes. :) I like our 'drab' look :P -Mike Postscript: now that gold, on the other hand, could be an interesting change; as long as we keep a dark background I'll be happy.  blog pictures |

Postscript: now that gold, on the other hand, could be an interesting change; as long as we keep a dark background I'll be happy. :) Give it a try on your desktop: the gold-around colour you prefer on a dark-enough (brilliant) gray-black. I think it's a good combination of elegance and usability, I tried it and my eyes are happy now :D You can also choose the kind of white you prefer, on a dark background. For sure you can't use dark borders for the windows, unless you are an elf. |

Ah yeah Molzahn you're right, white is a bit sticky as background. Some light gray would be better. The frontpages' mix of bright red and blue looks awful IMO. I'll try golden text if I can find it on this Linux distro :) |

Ah yeah Molzahn you're right, white is a bit sticky as background. I'm surprised by your priorities - not a criticism, it is just as well we are all different - but I am still surprised. At the time you posted that I was thinking more about seeing those lovely flood onto the system, and a fair few flood onto my boxes. I didn't care what colo(u)r the website was, I was enjoying its content. ;-) |

Myself, I prefer gradients. http://members.shaw.ca/aziemianski/gradientblu_ltcyan.jpg I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here. |

Hey River, this is the Cafe where one relax and think of other things than not getting any workunits. Have a coffee or why not a beer :) |
