radiatorhums Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The dark theme is a step in the right direction, but it still seems too bright to me (and I'm using f.lux). I'd be happiest if there was an 'old VC' color theme, those colors seemed to be real easy on my peepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisShane Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 the dark themes don't seem to change anything on mobile for me? just because we'd like a dark (black) background doesn't mean it's gothic with blood and a goat sacrifice. The white is just too bright Edit: Okay I see the difference on desktop. I would still prefer a dark background like what has been suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm liking the new gray background on the dark themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nardes Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Whatever you choose... there needs to be CONTRAST. My colorblindness makes reading the new site quite the task.

boops_popmarket Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 All text that is neon green or neon blue has poor contrast. You can't display neon colors on white or light grey backgrounds. ALL dark text needs to be on a white or light grey background and ALL neon text needs to have a dark grey or black background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfect example is the "Report Post" link on someone's comment... to me I can BARELY see it.When I put my mouse on their comment, it does darkens it, and I can see it better. On the message board, the links to the pages are whats really hard to see... If it's bolded it's "ok-ish" but when it's the thinner font, it just really blends in with the page. I'd recommend doing deeper colors, such as a red or a navy blue... something that will pop more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a lot easier on the eyes for me as well. As shown above this is still a little harder for me personally. If the text size was a bit bigger or thicker it would be a lot better.

I was just illustrating how thin the font is and how its blending and not very visible for some of us with that theme. I switched to the new colorblind and the colors help ten fold but the font visibility issue is still there for me. Not sure if you could bump the font size up 1 or 2 points or make it a bit thicker/darker on the colorblind theme for us colorblind people. Edit: More specifically the posts that have already been read. Bigger culprit with multiple in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisShane Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm going to try out the colorblind theme, but my headaches intensify when I come to this site. The bright colors are not my friend... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boops_popmarket Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The darker blue text in the colorblind theme is muuuuuch better. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yeah, that darker shade of blue makes all the difference. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tape Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Colorblind is another good step. I still just feel like there's too much white on the page and more of the page needs to be non-white. Especially considering all the whitespace [pun unintended] that is white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yeah, it would be nice if the current grey replaced the white completely, and then another slightly darker grey was used as the secondary colour. That with the dark blue colourblind scheme would be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabwalker Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The colorblind is the best option so far. I have been staying away from the site more b/c it's hard to read and gives me a headache. I can at least handle the colorblind option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Colorblind Theme is the best so far. I think this site needs an option to let users create their own theme?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvham Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Agreed that Colorblind is the best so far but it's still too bright IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
