A little on the dark side. Pretty sure that I do not like white (or light blue) text on a dark blue background.

Yeah that is better! What about the really dark blue boxes around the quote/edit/profile area?

If you are in this mode...Interesting that my avatar now has a white halo that was not visible in CTP2

different background color = not as good "matching"

I mean the background to the reply with quote and the edit (your post) areas are reallly tooo dark. To boot both of the above mentioned areas have black text, I think.

Lastly, Is it just my imagination or did the text size change in the signature and location areas.

Bonus....smilies really stand out

after some thought, the link color was changed to this yellow

if you really really like the blue/blue combination let me know

Well, i think it looks better than the civ3 or ctp2 styles, but I think I'll stick to the default style.

I like the yellow better than blue. The blue, though it looked better, just didn't stand out well enough. I would probably like grey better than yellow though.

Never mind. After I posted that message I saw the new link color. This is fine.

I like this one and I'm using it now. I didn't like the Civ or CtP styles, but this one is OK.



the yellow links are cool, but the /me text is a nasty silver colour that I find hard to read.

* FrustratedPoet hopes Markos will change the way that this function is displayed on the MOO3 style.

Looks good.
The bright red in ixnay37's post hurt my eyes.
Good for short term reading, but I suspect that the light text on a dark background will cause long term eye strain after reading for 30 minutes or so. Also, I can now see the florecent lighting in the office around me reflected on the screen a lot easier than with a light background.
The Loading time now says "Please Wait" didn't look to see if it said anything else before I changed though.

Very good color conversion of MOO3 sytle boards.
Good work!


But, I'll use default style.
My own preference.

Exactly my sentemients. Looks good. Although, my favorite look is Light-special. The reason for this is simple. I like the default look the best. I like not having a bunch of graphics simply because it looks cleaner with words instead of icons. And finally, special because I can handle one popup every 24 hours, to me its preferable to two banner ads. Although, if Markos tells me that he would make more from me having two banner ads, I would consider switching back.

tniem, there is Light-special-MoO3 style as well (e.g. just like the Light-special but with moo colors)

I know. That is the one I played around with. And what I tried to say is that it is some good work getting the colors to work with the old Delphi site. But I tried to say that I just prefered the default colors still to this day.

lol....actually blue is less stressing for your monitor than white, it should even use less power

It's wonderful.

I usually set windows to have have lots of blues, with dark greys and black thrown in for good measure. This fits right in -- I think I'll keep it.



edit: the bronze link color is damn cool.

	Put an end to popups!

It's actually very nice. Tried it and liked it. However, I think any style where the background is darker than the text is more difficult to read, so I'll stick with the standard.
