New theme is "too bright"

[Frederica Bernkastel]

I've noticed this complaint is pretty common so I just made a thread about it.
Example:

[16:43:22]  the new look is actually give me a headache, I'm not joking
[16:43:32]  MY EYES MY EYES
[16:43:37]  I had to close out
[16:43:47]  *giving
[16:43:53]  its not easy for my eyes too lol
[16:43:57]  but possible
[16:44:02]  It
[16:44:03]  contrast between colours is shit
[16:44:05]  too much clutter
[16:44:05]

the dark theme is better, although not as good as the classic theme but it will have to do for now, at least my eyes are not having a suntan now lol

 

[lolzed]

Not much complaints here, seeing as the staff put much effort into this. I'm hope the other themes will be added eventually, but for now I'm good.

Thank you

The brightness is a small price to pay for the big upgrade of the site.
Or possible,the staff cold make a darker version of the theme where people can switch to the theme they prefer.

There's a dark theme option on your profile settings option, but it's too dark imo >_>

The theme has a black background with white font.

I'd really appreciate a little darker (gray-ish) back with black font.

Which is why I rock f.lux. I can handle it during the day, and f.lux takes care of it at night.

Looks nice to me, but I suppose something like black+purple wouldn't look too bad.

To me there is barely any difference in color between new and the old. But I do like the dark theme (I like reading with a black background)

 

[nryn99]

fine for me. very sexy.

 

[PolloDiablo]

I like the new dark theme!

The new theme is slightly brighter to me, havnt tried dark yet.

 

[naved.islam14]

I would really like a dark alternative theme.

 

[Uncle FEFL]

Looks freaking amazing to me.

Ehh dark theme reminds me of High Contrast mode (shift+alt+printscreen)
I like the other one.

 

[rockstar99]

Im not using the Dark theme... it looks like I can handle the normal one now

 

[kevan]

Hmm actually I like the dark theme better now since I just realised it makes my ava look better

 

[Ghostyis40]

lol, nice joke, turn your contrast down bud!

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

This dark theme is getting better and better, I just wanted to reinstate my continued thanks to tj_cool and whomever is responsible.

EDIT: and technically, this thread can be closed / marked fixed.

I like the dark theme, but I feel the black doesn't blend very well with the blue background, it needs a grey border or something.
