The new colors are definately not eye appealing. Not to offend whomever is changing them, but they just do not look right.
*** or perhaps it is my video card on the fritz...  |

| They really are pretty bad...i like blues and grays. They are usually appealing and friendly to the eye. And very commercializable. Maybe a blue, white and orange for spunk. |

what was wrong with the original colors?
edit: I think I see why you are doing this now... trying to compliment the new logos? hmmm, not sure... but the current theme just doesn't seem to work. I'll play around a bit myself. |

| I liked the previous colors, but I think they could be improved. Since Mike has asked for suggestions, I would like to suggest adding the ability to use gradients for many of these colors. I think it's pretty amazing what a "little" gradient can do for the graphics. Second suggestion--how about another little contest? I think that would be fun/useful! |

| you know TestMagic is right, gradients would really be a nice touch. In fact, looking at the color and style of the lettering in the Snitz logo, that same style could be used, a "glassy" look... |

If you are using Internet Explorer 5+, take a look here:

But, this is IE only. The gradients are done without any images at all. But to be cross-browser friendly, we would have to use images. |

I'm not trying to promote my forum here but...
If You look at my site: http://www.railway-forum.com/forum/ I used gray, and white. Those might look pretty good here. |

Really....My users say that it's good like that, I tried to change it before and they aid it was fine the way it was so I can't argue with that! But I too was thinking about the gradient in the cell, I think I'll give it a try.
OK< I need to leave now because these colors are hurting my eyes! |

I think it is the lavendar that is "off" to me... but you're right, the colors are not that different. |

The lavendar clashes with the grey topic background color.
Not that I would know anyway . . . I'm colorblind (figurativly) |
