Let's not blind everyone?

[★ RYUUJIN !]

While they may look better on the darker skins and some of the darker posting formats here on FTS... some of them are rather blinding and hard on the eyes - especially on the legend on the sidebar. Let's take a look.

Admin - OKAY! (But would suggest something that might stand out more against the board, since all the text is white. How about black?)

Dream Mod - OKAY!

Pokemod - BLINDING!

Baby - LESS OKAY!

Basic - BLINDING!

Stage One - LESS OKAY TO BLINDING!

Stage Two - LESS OKAY TO BLINDING!


So they're not so blinding, I'm suggesting to change the colors... using something less neon and bright.
Here are a few for the ones that were discussed between a small group.

Admin - Was good as is... but again, edited to suggest admins sticking out a bit more.

Dream Mod - this one was okay as is... but could be changed as such to match the rest.

Pokemod

Baby

Basic

Stage One

Stage Two


The colors, for the most part, are staying the same, we're just dimming them down a bit and making them a bit more pastel than neon. This will help us see things better and potentially prevent members who get migraines from bright lights/colors from getting them. This has become a concern for me since my friend gets them easily from bright, contrasting colors such as these, as well as bright lights and those new neon automatic reader boards that a majority of businesses have been switching to as of late.

I know it's not really my place and I apologize if I'm out of line, but I'm going to jump in here and agree...I can spot it better now that I know what to look for, but at first, I more or less couldn't read the basic and pokemod usergroups with how blinding they are. Toning them down a little would really be helpful in making names more readable once characters are accepted and. And, as Ryuu said, it would also prevent visitors from getting awful headaches from the contrast.

Thank you guys for pointing this out for me! I was having trouble with some of the colors myself, and I was planning on messing with them eventually, but given that I had just come out of messing with images and crap for templates, I was just like "..... I will do this later *toss aside and go to do something else* " the same way I do when I'm being lazy, so I hadn't messed with em yet. That and I'd wanted to make some people, don't judge me!

Anyway, thanks Ryuu for the suggestions, and Cori for the input on two of the "worse" colors! I've taken and implemented almost all of them as they appear here, the exceptions being the admin because black was hard to read on the boards and the Pokemod was too pale to read (though the original color still changed since that one was one I was intending on changing anyway). Don't be afraid to tell me that something's not working well in the future, a lot of this is still trial and error. I don't bite much, and it'll make FtS all the better for it, so *shot*

Well, they're still colors I pulled from photoshop (yay color selector), so I contributed! :'D /shot

They look great, however. Much better, less blinding, everyone's happy~
