New colour scheme

[Deleted member 105166]

@Dan perhaps it's just me, but the quotes appearing on a solid orange background seems heavy on the eye. Not sure what others think? Or are you about to unleash a deal on EF branded sunglasses?

Needed to orange the place up a bit to fit the logo (and match the old forum style may I add). It isn't quite finished but I can't make the orange softer, it becomes sort of peachy.

Lemme see if people get used to it.

Neh that's alright. It's bold. But not bold enough.

I thought this was going to be a thread about when red/yellow/blue/black became brown/black/grey/blue.


Just keep tinkering with the forum, @Dan

Just a thought. Some websites have a script so individual users can choose between preset colour schemes.
I've heard it does help dyslexic people read having different colours of text rather than black on white.

Lol. I didn’t even see mine for a while.

Damn it. I thought I'd just fixed it lmao

God, it's one of those days is it.

Every time I change one single colour of one single thing, I need to change 20 others to fix it. I think I'll go bed early. I'll cause less work for tomorrow lol

Someone, somewhere will no doubt start campaigning for it to revert post-Brexit

Different "skins" I think they call it. Good idea, that.

Preferred it the way it was, but I expect I'll get used to it. Would be better with something paler. Pale blue?

.... Pale blue?

Hanging around with a certain operating system ....
Too much blue light, late at night - Not good for sleep !

I want you know when you're on here. And it works for that lol.

I might tone it down a bit I ran out of time - when I change the colour of one thing, 20 other colours have to be edited then so ran out of time and we ended up with this.

I can setup some extra skins for you when I have some time. I've customised so much of the forum though that each one I add would need it's own day dedicated to get it right.

We used to have a skin for Christmas and everything, red and green, even had snow falling on it for about 5 hours then that got annoying.

We won't please everybody with any one style though.

It's on my list, but not near the top lol ?

Pssst the old boring grey one is at the bottom of the forum. Bottom left link. Change it to ElectriciansForums.net.

Don't tell anybody.

Done a couple of sample colours, including a dark one for nighttime reading. But they need working on. I'll see if I can sort them out between actual work.

Normal (in case something is broken on the other two, so you can get back to normal and click a link or whatever might be broken): New colour scheme - https://www.electriciansforums.net/misc/style?style_id=19&_xfRedirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.electriciansforums.net%2Fthreads%2Fnew-colour-scheme.179660%2F&t=1571777684%2C4a9cc9ad9697f542392680bbd13043a8

You'll find nearly everything works on them. It'll be my customisations that don't use the normal forum code (in most cases) that might be a bit bright still or whatever.
