The Phoronix Forums Have Been Upgraded

Black on white hurting your eyes or what aspect?

the old Gray was good, this pure white is Killing my eyeballs.

can we have an option to use the old colours if wanted added to our settings page at least or a button to switch to any alternate version ASAP ?

BTW DID YOU Finally put in a far longer edit time so we can re-edit our message content (and delete it at any time if we wish to remove it from publication)

Posting my phoronix.css file for anyone interested.

It a slightly more blingy version of this theme, Michael feel free to pick it apart and implement anything that looks interesting to you.

All I can say to the changes is YES!!!

[BlackStar]

Use:

.postrow {
    background-color: #f0f0f0 !important;
}

for a darker background, if pure white annoys you.

cant find my usual tool for click and pick the hex value but there are many vBulletin theme's that are OK and i think something like this would be a good colour start
compared to the old version.

Unfortunately it's not as easy for me as I need to track down a bunch of different vBulletin style variables and shit

Dear lord, this theme is awful! High contrast white-on-black is painful.

[popper]

well its closer to the original and people did like that

i Know its close as iv still got a few old phoronix pages up i did not refreshed yet, so i compared to the above colours, better that than burning your eyes out with this one i think.

Looks fine to me. If it hurts your eyes, what are you, a cave-dweller or something? :P Google is even brighter than this.
