Just so some of you will stop bagging on those of us who are not thrilled with the green, color effects your mood and it is also seen differently by different people. Some of us do not focus as well with the green in the background and it makes it more difficult to read. (insert old farts here if you want)

The ability to change it back to black and white is fine but Dave isn't going to continue updating that theme and it will go away at some point.

Cut us some slack will ya?

There will be modified versions of this green template that will be more appealing to you old farts. I liked the suggested monochrome that Thomas put up.

Thank you Dave. I like the blue too, oh, I guess I've already mentioned that once or five times.

I think it looks cool. A little darker though...like camo

boxd_up · 04-11-2007, 12:53 PM

I have heard that some people actually have a hard time seeing green.

And I have to be honest ... I really like the green, but it's uhh kinda ... ahhh, giving me headache.

Taz, don't tell us you LIKE BLUE!!! Noooo, I won't believe that!!!

I'm not an old fart. I'm 24. I just know that green isn't the best color to use on a forum that you're going to stare at for countless hours.

Tomas · 04-11-2007, 03:59 PM

The green in and of itself is not a bad color to use, heck, my blog, http://tijil.org/blog/ , is done in a green theme, just much more muted than the vibrant yellow-greens in use here. If this were done in variations of the Scion camo color, it would be OK, at least as far as irritation.

One may want an "exciting" and "vibrant" color scheme for the website - then again, maybe not. Possibly some of the reason "Site X" is more aggressive in it's posts is their background color...

Thing is, this sort of green is a psychologically annoying color for many people. To keep the tenor of the posts on an even keel, a more soothing color just might be a better choice.

(BTW, not trying to refer people to the competition, but some folks over there use an alternative URL to read posts because it is more comfortable...)

For example:
http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=170034
http://www.toyotalife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=170034

The second "look" is much calmer...

Scion-Doll · 04-11-2007, 04:02 PM

I like it!! It surprised me though, but I really don't care what color it is as long as I can read it. Good Job!!

FlowerBox · 04-11-2007, 05:58 PM

i deal with this kind of stuff at work but in a different method....its just so hard to please everybody

josh_trdsparks · 04-12-2007, 05:15 PM

So I guess the option to set it back to the original default is no longer and option. The green is hurting my eyes. I guess I'm old. lol

scroll down to the bottom of the page. There is a drop box to switch back.

Iron_Lion_Scion · 04-12-2007, 05:33 PM

not anymore, I had switched to old one and it just automatically switched me back just less than 5 min ago. I can't switch it back cause no drop down is available anymore.

04-12-2007, 05:43 PM

i'm looking at the drop down on both themes right this second

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
DOWN HERE
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Iron_Lion_Scion · 04-12-2007, 05:49 PM

sorry not one here on my browser (using mozilla). Should I log of and then log back in.
I know where its supposed to be because I used it to change to the old theme, but not there for me anymore. Am I the only one?
All I see is posting rules at the bottom.

Also went to the control panel and the option to change back is missing.

Tomas · 04-12-2007, 06:29 PM

Not there for me, either:

Same here - I don't have it anymore either.

Iron_Lion_Scion · 04-12-2007, 06:34 PM

Yeah I use Mozilla to and I got nothing at the bottom or in the options menu.
