I have been working on a new color combination for the board.
One of the options we have at this forum is to be able to have several separate skins for the board so the user can decide what version best works for them.
This new version is easier on my eyes and not as bright as the original and I have been adjusting it this morning.
This new version has a darker background in Gray behind the white text.
You will need to open a thread to see how the new color option of white text over a gray background looks.
To see this new "skin" just click on your profile button at the top of the forum or your user name.
You can then click on MODIFY PROFILE.
Go down the page and click on SELECT SKIN
the new board skin is called LER DARK 2009
Make sure you go to the bottom of the page and SAVE.
You can always go back and change it to the original or one of the other versions.
This may make it easier on some to view the board.

I like the Blue better, can people keep the grey if they want or will it be one or the other?

members can decide whatever skin they wish to use.
The new darker version is just something I was working on and finally finished it.
We have the following skins available
original blue version (law enforcement rant skin) this has the lighter blue/gray border.
original blue version with a blue and dark blue border (LER skin 3 blue/blue dark)
and the new Grey background and DARK blue border. (LER Dark 2009)
The users can change them at any time in their profile settings under SELECT SKIN.

Maybe it's just my "need to change things" nature but I like the new one better.
Thanks E
Who knows, maybe I'll go back to the old one later.

I find that the white text on the darker gray background when you open a thread easier to read. I like both of them but just finished working on this gray version. I think it makes some the avatars stick out better also but that's just me.
With some visting the board more and more on cell phones etc. it might help them out.
Making these color combinations takes hours and I'm glad I got that one finished. Each item on the page has to be assigned a color and its all in HTML code.

Pink? well.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm I think the colors also are effected by the monitors and screen settings. My old laptop had a darker screen and the new laptops are coming out with much bighter and sharper screens so that is another factor. Just one more fancy option for people to play with.

I just toned down the border color of the new skin.
The dark black was a bit much and the new dark blue border matches well with the gray text windows.
Let me know what you think if you are using it.

thanks La Girl.
I think the new dark DARK blue border around the gray background is much better than that black background.
the colors seem to all jump out better as SurvivedDink noted.
