Yarg! Blue on black?!

I think it's great, and I can't understand how anyone could find this color scheme eye-straining. It's very easy on my eyes.

It was a bit jarring to get a shockingly new colour scheme after being used to the old one, and I think that's probably what most of the complaints are really about. Whenever a forum changes skins, you eventually get used to it. I think the absolutely necessary updates (dealing with the finicky drop-down information, flashing profile cards ... ugh... and making sure the articles are no longer cut off on the right side) all more than make up for any problems with the somewhat star wars-y colour-scheme.

You know what I think about these colors? These are TRON colors. So they're awesome.

Ahhhh, the bliss of being a Safari user...
Thanks for the search explanation, maybe you could have "Search Articles" as the text for the top left one for extra clarity.

That's just the short list. A bunch of other annoying stuff that was browser/system/resolution dependent has been fixed.

The new scheme took me by surprise,too. Looks cool. I just need a day or two to adjust. Thanks for the constant effort to make everything work.

The new color scheme is pleasing to the eye at first glance, but the contrast between the colors makes it slightly hard to read, like the blue and the orange are vibrating slightly. I don't know if I ever said anything about it, but the previous color scheme really grew on me... it was very distinctive, legible, and vaguely evocative of wargames somehow.

When you have volunteers putting in time to keep this going, who can complain. All I can say is thanks, Uba. We can make suggestions, of course.
The one thing I loved (though it may be fading in my memory) was the "first draft" attempt of a website by Juniper, I believe. The artwork at the top just screamed Ameritrash! Not sure if it would match with this color scheme--but it was great, in my opinion.

I would like to rotate the image at the top of the page to create different themes. I liked that picture too, and think we could use it in the future.
