How do we get rid of this awful black forum skin?

O

Ive looked, cant see any other skins. With the default black, I can’t see who has posted what and lots of other info unless I run my mouse over it. This skin sucks, sorry, dont wish to offend, but it really does. It’s difficult to read.

B

Yes, very difficult for me as well.

P

same here. but my eyes are really old and the only thing I can really focus on at this point is a good figure.

O

I agree. Much too hard to read some things. Hopefully it can be changed to contrast better and be easier on the eyes.

O

Glad other forum members agree. Really, no offence intended. I notice it more I guess because I use the site from the iphone (where things are actually clearer in a white skin) and find the site harder to read on the computer with the default black skin. I was really wondering if it’s possible to have the iphone’s white skin on the computer? lol

Is this not the same black skin it always had? I’ve aways liked it.

P

yea Alex did a great job matching the colors [or lack of] to the original site. It was hard to read then also. But I never complain, just ask my wife.

P

White on black is much softer on the eyes. I’ve adjusted my screen so that I have a grey background. And I’m getting it for free, so I can’t complain.

Is the skin even changeable? You guys could always try turning up screen brightness if its that bad.

Try to adjust the zoomlevel to 125 % or higher, maybe that helps. Jaap Bes

Thank you Jaap, it makes quite a difference

I disagree re:the skin.  The black skin made reading much easier.  Now that it is a glaring hideous white I get my business done and get the heck out of Dodge so I don’t have to endure more of it than I have to.  With the black skin I would lounge around for a bit since it was comfortable to do so.  It’s one of the seven hundred changes to the forum I don’t care for.

Different strokes …

I find black letters on a light background much easier on my eyes than the opposite.   I would prefer something other than white though.   A sand color would be good.

S

LOL, true an off-color would also be preferable, as you observed.  White’s just a bit much-ish imho
