I thought the colors around this forum where a bit too dark. And the scooped look of all the row of forums and posts, etc were a little too much for me.

So, I've made some manual changes (something I said I'd never do) to lighten things up.

Heck, you may not even notice. After all you didn't notice when I got my hair done last time either.

What say you all? Tums up or Tums down?

I didn't notice, but they look good now. If you want to tweak it, go for it! I say experiment!!!

For the most part what you see now is the "tweaked" version.

I likey.

The browns were dark but until I saw the new lighter brown I didn't realize how dark they were.

I agree with Chris, tweak away....do all the things you said you never do :D

Yeah, I like it. It's a good balance between too dark and glaringly bright.

I'd noticed a change, but hadn't known what had changed until looking in this thread. It's subtle, but I like it...

Cheers... G

For what it's worth I would like to see Firebird Red with the Black background-(At some point)

That would be pretty but then we would be back to dark and murky again!:p

I like it! Easy enough to read and less strain on these old eyes. if you want to change it again sometime by all means go ahead! it is your site after all. Good job!

You're just afraid of good tone. :D

I like the new look, Paul..it's easier for these old eyes to read. (and I thought your hair looked especially stunning, too).

Dang, now I'll have to tweak my avatar to blend into the background color again.
Let us know when it's carved in stone.

Sorry 'bout that. I'm not 100% sure there won't be more changes, but the color for the background on your avatar now should be #ded9c8.

Hope that helps a little.

T'anks. That "dang" was tongue in cheek.

You could always make it transparent and then you wouldn't have to worry unless it changed a LOT.

Yeah, I like it. It's a good balance between too dark and glaringly bright.

Kinda like a Gretsch Huh?
