Neon green highlight back again?

airhead

I thought we went thru all this bright neon color thing when you guys changed the site to the current layout... and I thought everyone screamed about it ... and what's up now? You are trying to sneak it back in?



In forum list of threads, I have these green neon flashlights beaming me in the face!  argh! I surrender! mercy! please!



Remember, many people have BRIGHT 1000:1 contrast monitors ( like me).... when you lay these colors out, why not develop for the latest technology, instead of some old dim CRT ???



OR better yet, just give me a feature to change the highlight color from a NEON GREEN to something that doesn't make my eyes bleed.... please....

You have to realize that we get comments about the look of the site from both sides of the fence.  If we only develop for everyone with Bright LCDs, there is a sizable chunk of people who don't own and can't afford them too.  If possible, we want to make everyone as happy as possible.  I've dimmed this a bit, and looks ok on my 900:1 LCD.

I can REALLY tell a difference!   THANKS!!  That's much better.



Of course I understand u are doing a site for thousands of people... the web designers biggest constraint. The only way to really get yourself some flexibility, is to give some to the users. Give users some color-scheme choices, or maybe let them tweak a color here and there... then you will have more room to do what you want.



( The only other part that might still be a little bright is when you look at a list of posts, and see the big squares with the numbers on them for the page navigation. I suppose it's bearable now....  although I don't really like it that much )

To be perfectly honest, I'm loving the new touches you put on the website. With the different colored links and neon green highlights. Nice job guys!

The most recent change gets a thumbs up from me. It's amazing how such a subtle change can make the visuals feel a little more fresh. You can almost smell the lemon lime on this one.

I have a dual SyncMaster 740n setup, so I can only judge from a 600:1 contrast ratio, from which the green looks fine. How much different is it than a 900:1 or a 1000:1? 'Cause i'm imagining the green highlights might be projecting onto the wall behind you. LOL

Edit: and I'm liking the new screenshot viewer! Death to popups!

EDIT: and just to be clear... sky toned it down pretty quick after post, so it's bearable now....

it seems fine to me, the brightness is fine and not over powering
