Site too dark?
 
Am I the only one to whom the site seems too dark? Maybe the text boxes could be another color other than black, as that is hard to see against a black background.

I do agree, it can get a bit annoying. However, it fits the POTC theme quite well.

Everything looks fine for me.

I think as long as you keep the text bright, there is no problem. But the dark red text for the navigation could be fixed. ;)

Sure, it's dark. But the movie IS dark. So it kind of fits. ;)

Anyway, if it's too dark, just turn the brightness of your screen up. It might help.

Penguinz 03-14-2007 03:25 AM

I agree. It is a tad' bit to dark.

We should have a choice of the theme. Maybe we can have something like VMKF's? I would like that bunches, that suits my eyes.

I'm sure we'll have more skins soon. But this site has just opened. So just give it a few months. No rush.

Biscuit 03-14-2007 04:09 AM

I think it's perfect for the movie. You don't see bright colors in the movie at all, this movie is pretty much made for dark colors. You don't see the characters going around in yellow and light green now, do we?

But I guess if it hurts your eyes than that's a reason why it would be bad. They'll probably come out with multiple skins to choose from, but I personally like this skin, it's perfect for the movie.

Ducky Wucky 03-14-2007 04:11 AM

Am I the only one who doesn't have an eye problem with the site? My eyes are fine reading threads on here.

If you guys have a problem reading on here, just highlight the text.

Ngendi 03-14-2007 04:13 AM

My eyes are are fine on this forums.

Sidestep 03-14-2007 04:17 AM

Personally, I'm not that font of dark skins. I'd appreciate a brighter skin, but I'm still okay with this one.

Yellow OJ 03-14-2007 05:06 AM

When I signed up, I couldn't read what I was typing in the boxes. I agree it's too dark, but I don't care. It's a cool skin, and I like it xD

Garfieldo 03-14-2007 05:32 AM

Personally, I think it's fine. I was kinda hoping for a topical-ish skin, but this fits the theme much better. :}

Maleficent_Rocks 03-14-2007 05:46 AM

It does seem dark. The thread about the pirate smileys was really dark, I had a hard time seeing most of the smileys, I now feel like I have old woman eyes. ;)

theastroA 03-14-2007 05:47 AM

I think it's fine. I like the background :)

JohnnyGunflint 03-14-2007 06:15 AM

At first, I couldn't read anything.
Now, the screen is appleasing.

Qui-gon 03-14-2007 03:33 PM

It's okay. But if they changed it, I would be fine. Yellow shows up good on this though. ;)

TravisSch 03-14-2007 03:34 PM

As long as the text stays white, I'm fine with the forum style. :)

WafflePrincess 03-14-2007 03:35 PM

I like the darkness. Fits the game just fine in my opinion. :)

Rattlebones 03-14-2007 03:44 PM

Ye Beware things dat go bump in dah dark...



<BUMP>

Ducky Wucky 03-14-2007 04:45 PM

I'm telling you, just turn up the brightness on your screen. If you don't know how then ask a parent. I promise it will help.

Me! I don't like the colors at all!

jsmall 03-14-2007 05:20 PM

I agree. You gotta just give it time for your eyes to adjust.

Volitan 03-14-2007 05:35 PM

I think the colors are just a little bit too dark, they could still be a tad lighter. The dark red is the most annoying thing to me, a lighter red would probably be easier to read.

But the light red wouldn't please the dark surroundings, and maybe that odd mix will hurt your eyes even more. -_-

Ducky Wucky 03-14-2007 05:58 PM

Well, there is an option somewhere on the site where everything is just black and white. And there aren't any pictures. I don't remember how to do that, but you guys can just do that if it hurts your eyes so much.

I don't quite follow?

PaperClip 03-14-2007 09:20 PM

I think that it is a little too dark. I also think that the default font on here should be changed to something a little more Pirate-ish. I personally think that Trebuchet MS would be the one for that.

This font, mate?
I fail to find a big difference between our default font and that font.

tiara_grl 03-14-2007 09:26 PM

I like the darker background, it seems very piratey. I think it would be nice if there was a more piratey font though

PinkTinkPixie 03-14-2007 10:08 PM

A pirate-esque font would be awesome! Maybe just for our usernames, though. The font for all our posts would get a bit annoying after a while.

The black's fine. It's different, which is good :)

I agree. Having a piratey font all the time would be extremely annoying.

PirateGG 03-15-2007 05:45 PM

If the site was all white, we wouldn't be able to see anything....
I personally like the skin, as I've stated before.

Goldfish 03-16-2007 03:43 AM

the only thing i've had trouble with is the white text in the white boxes for toruneys

Maleficent_Rocks 03-16-2007 03:51 AM

I think we should maybe have the options to change the color schemes? That way each person could make it their own.
