In my opinion It's better like that

@Michal_ACM Yeah agreed, I will probably need glasses soon with this being the background. haha Too bright indeed.

I prefer the blue one!

I like it much better than the previous one. If you complain about too much white, adjust your monitor's brightness a bit...

Personally, I think that with these themes, dark is good. Having a dark theme looks good, but is also more eco-friendly. Less battery power will be used by your device to create the dark bits, so less energy is needed.

@Octi Bro, I don't think lowering brightness just for forums will be good. I use my PC for other works, so I put my screen on exact brightness and it's harder to keep changing it. Also like I said before, I use forums while watching videos on other half of the screen, so changing brightness wont work.

DutchCaptain

So what was the problem with a blue forum? Too dark?

SpecialOne

@DutchCaptain Really hard to read were the biggest complaints!

NOTE: Fixed your signature, if you want to keep it as link instead of image, just remove my fix

It's not grey at all.. It's too bright. If this can adjusted it's a great update

And no, I don't adjust my monitor brightness for the visit of one site.

@SpecialOne Thanks for the fix haha.

But if the problem was to hard to read, why don't make layes Dark on bright [or vice versa]? You basiscally have the same problem now with the white on white theme. In my opinion a darker [grey or something] background in the posts will make it a bit easier for the eyes to read. But that's my opinion..

@SUPERNOVA-8 My problem with this is that the mods just imposed this on us. They didn't let us vote to decide.

@Simenon The forum colour was only changed because it has been on of the biggest complaints about the new forums. Some users struggled to read the forums when they were the theme was blue, now everyone can read the forums and surely that is better?

I do not think the colour of the forum makes much difference, I personally preferred the blue colour too, but if I had a choice of a blue forum that some users couldn't read or a grey forum that everyone could read I would pick the latter.

DutchCaptain

@ruby2003 I don't know if it is possible, but maybe it's an idea to have a option to choose between dark/light theme? Like there is in Microsoft office?

If not, eventually everything we will get used to everything.

ruby2003

@DutchCaptain That's would have been a great idea and it was what was wanted by the developers, but it wasn't possible to do implement, unfortunately.

King Noel

@ruby2003 Atleast can they lower the brightness or make it proper grey and not this bright?

I am sure everyone can see it if its medium grey or whatever.

ruby2003

@King-Noel I honestly do not find it very bright? Maybe it is just my laptop?

However, there is no saying that this colour is the final colour and it may be altered some time in the future.

King Noel

@ruby2003 I am not the only one who finds it bright, there are many people saying it on this forum and on crew.

ruby2003

@King-Noel Yeah, I know. But personally I haven't noticed the brightness to be a problem. But that may be because of my laptop or something.

King Noel

@ruby2003 Yeah, maybe you put your brightness to really low but that is not going to work for many of us.

I use my PC for many other things and have medium brightness.
