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

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 :)

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.

Funny, you notice that, River~~?

I don't mind the colors. I enjoy the content as well.

Cheers,

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 :)
