Styles and Colors

With the test being written on that striped background it's pretty hard to read. Just a cosmetic thing and it didn't stop me from ordering my shirt and sticker. =)

Is it better now?

ROFL! White text on a white background. Much easier to read now....once I select the whole page. =)

Just curious, what web browser/os are you using? Anyone else seeing white text and white background on the Shop page, and can offer a possible fix? I tried Netscape 6.2 and IE 6.0, both look alright.

[PasCaTT]

It's not browser. It's that I'm using the "blue" style settings.
Default is just way too bright and orange is...well...fugly =)

[linp]

Ah... forgot that people are using styles other than default ;) Thanks for the tip! I have a really bad sense of color coordination. Like the new "Pink" style?

[linp]

Added a new "dark" style (http://www.socalsvriders.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=editoptions), and made some improvements(?) on styles. Scroll down to the bottom and select a style you like -- another reason to register: your choice of colors!

[PasCaTT]

Dark is awesome! Thanks!

It is pretty sweet... I'm diggin' it.

[Golden_Eternity]

Using the "dark" color scheme, viewing profiles is way difficult... grey background with white and dark grey text.

[linp]

It should be better now.

[Golden_Eternity]

Yeah, much. Thanks for the quick response and all the hard work on the site.

I'd like to see something in a Mauve, maybe a hint of Periwinkle, with a touch of Persimmon, or possibly Taupe.....

That's now the default style, inspired by the deserts of Iraq.

Don't like it? Click here (http://www.socalsvriders.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=editoptions) to choose from other equally unattractive styles (near the bottom, under Style).

Wow, I hate this new color and I don't like any of the others either. Bring back the original color scheme, please.

I kinda like it cuz I do a most of my viewing of this board at work and need a bland color. That way it dosent look like I am viewing a porn site.

well, i love this site, and i'm trying to like the new colors, but i'm with Kurt on this one. maybe have a color scheem called "old school" for us to choose from that has the old colors. i like the boring one, but the little icons at the top are gone, and i have to scroll down for stuff. i'll stop complaining now.:D

Those who are at work can try out the "Work" style by changing your "Style" at the bottom of this page (http://www.socalsvriders.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=editoptions). This is still a work in progress, similar to the now-gone "Boring" style.

I brought the old, depressing style back as "Default". I know there are many designers out there... so help a brother out, colorize a screenshot of this page (or the main page (http://www.socalsvriders.com)), or point me to a site with "happening" colors for me!

[sarge]

thanks for bring back the old depressing style back. now things feel right:D

Paul,
I liked the "Dark" color set up you had but when you changed the "Latest Discussions" text color, it makes it really hard to read with the Dark Blue and Black. I suggest changing it to a lighter color for at least that color preference.

On the flip side, I do like how you put event in a different color. Now I have no excuse for not knowing about something.:p
