Thistle will do nicely, thank you. :-*

Changing the online usernames to thistle got me thinking, and this is the result. ;)

Post by: Gothick on April 23, 2003, 05:52:08 PM: Hmmm, it looks more like royal blue to my color-blind eyes. I like all shades of blue and purple, so it looks sweet to me. What I don't like is that the "Dark Shadows Forums" logo now looks squished. And Collinwood looks as if somebody (Gerard Stiles, perhaps) stuck the house on a giant rack and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d... I'm sure it's because I have my computer set at 9696 x 6969 or something like that...

Gothick: I'm sure the picture just needs some height and width codes so it will fit in the space provided. I'm sure MB will fix it eventually.

Such a nice change! Great job!

The more I see it, the more I love it. I'd say it's a definite keeper. And if you hadn't suggested a color change for the users online, it might never have come about. So, there really shouldn't be any blame thrown your way - only thanks. [thumb]

Thanks for the laugh, Patti.....after the news of the Final Fest I surely needed it.

Post by: Philippe Cordier on April 24, 2003, 02:25:52 AM: I love the new colors -- the deep blue background is like the ocean in the opening credits, and nicely complements the picture of Collinwood. Also, the pale blue type is very comforting on the eyes.

The color scheme seems very appropriate overall for "Dark Shadows."

Post by: Carol on April 24, 2003, 02:31:18 AM: Very soothing to the eye. I like it a lot.

Post by: Luciaphile on April 24, 2003, 02:27:42 PM: I love it. Nice and restful. Red has its place, but I find it distracting and hard on the eyes on a web site.

Post by: Josette on April 26, 2003, 08:11:26 AM: I just found a slight problem with the new colors. Lately there have been a few new responses to Archive items. Tonight I almost missed seeing the "new" designation on the forum title, since the "new" is blue and the title bars are lilac (or whatever you're calling them!).
Title: Re:The New Color Scheme...
Post by: Raineypark on April 26, 2003, 01:40:45 PM: I have no problem spotting the "new" on the archive lines. But I'm sure the colors don't appear exactly the same on all our computers.

In general we're probably going to see MORE "new"s on the archive lines......when the membership opens, people are going to go browsing around in there like it's the "ancient books of magick" section in the library! :D
