We're working on this yeah - you can use a basic, more light version of it by selecting the theme 'Stormcaller' in the dropdown at the bottom of the site.
There's tons of work to do on it though and it's an active work in progress.- Kev
Thanks, Stormcaller helps big time. A bit bright but I'll take it over the default and rank it 99% better, heh.
Black backgrounds may seem "cool" in theory but they rarely work well in practice. It is the reason books still print dark on a light background. Our eyes just aren't geared for night vision in the end. Fine as a menu selection but maybe the default should be Stormcaller because I almost didn't come back here after the first look see cause I couldn't read the boards well at all and had no idea I could opt out of the dark on dark on dark look. Only found out cause I asked about it. How many posters do that? First impressions for first time viewers for a new site are important after all.
So now I can finally separate the quotes and the messages and the posters and see the thing as a whole clearly. Now I feel comfortable and at home for the first time. Thanks so very much for replying.
And Kevin not meaning to come down on you. I'm sure some people like black on black. And you have done tons of good work here and in such a short time. Props! And I love Stormcaller!
