The new shapes in the design are cool... but I hate the color red! T_T Please put in an option for what theme we can see the site as, Yonkey! (At least the forum part, I don't mind the outer frame around the forum.)

Red makes my eyes hurt and bleed. :(

What do you mean?  The forum is actually darker overall than the previous one.  Maybe you just have your brightness set too high? ???

I have the same issue...the dark colors are fine, but it's the brighter reds and oranges on top of it that are a little too vibrant...and a too-light-on-too-dark effect can sometimes put a straing on one's eyes...I'm getting it too.


I like the overall look, but for pepole with sesitive eyes, it's not as read-friendly as the blue one, which had a more neutral color balance to it, if that makes sense.

lol don't worry, it happens every time. I've just gotten used to it by now. XD

If it's just the red gradient that you guys are complaning about, then I could darken that, since I designed it with when the rest of the forum colours were way too bright and eye-straigny.  As for the rest, you'll eventually get used to it. 8)

I'm using a laptop, so things are actually quite a bit brighter than when I browse on a CRT, and still I don't find it too bad.

Well, the text box when you type is a TAD bright...so you might want to try darkening it...but only a suggestion :)

Hahaha, yeah, that's actually another one that I forgot about doing the final adjusting for. XD

EDIT: There we go, much better. :)  Sorry if you still find the red gradient too bright, but I can't make it any darker without it screwing up how it looks on the forum index page.

Thanks! :)

I also just fixed something someone mentioned earlier about the header taking up too much screen real-estate.  His suggestion actually serves a functional purpose (less mandatory scrolling and therefore quicker access to information), and comparing the previous design to this one, he was correct that it was taking up a bit more than it should. 8)

If you have Forum Questions or Suggestions, post them in here.  At least, I can better keep track and remember to eventually do them that way. :P

I like blue 100 times better than the color red. ;P Red depresss me.

*shrugs*

Don't get me wrong though, I love the design... I just have a vengeance against the color red.

Yeppi! :thumbsup: That was my two cents worth. :idea: It is smaller. (What about 25%?) I honestly hadn’t noticed it until you mentioned it. It’s better, I still think it could stand to be smaller. Maybe adjusting the buttons so they don’t hang down as much.

Hehe thanks! :D  Say picked em, but I would say the red is pretty symbolic (e.g. love, passion, heat, etc).  For the forum colours, I chose something more "blood" coloured, since anything brighter just looked horrible. :P  There's even a lot of other concepts like the letters TSL being silver rather than gold, the outlines in the forum having a "silver lining", even the forum text is in a light grey rather than pure white.  The yellow/gold represents royalty, the crown, adventure, etc.  It's pretty much an essential to the KQ series and that's probably why a lot of people find this design way more fitting than the previous.  And the black, well, like you said: darkness, evil, etc. :P

*makes mental note to update the BBC tag background one of these days*  I forgot they're still blue. XD

Sorry, I actually changed it back because it ended up destroying the overall design.

I normally prefer the color blue to red as well, but I actually like the new look a lot better. Awesome work peoples!  ;D
