I like this much better than the skinny font.

Also, IMHO, the bright red of the menu bar (User CP, Register, FAQ...) and the page navigation is a little glaring in comparison to the other shades of burgundy on the screen. But I tend to prefer green or blue palettes in general, so I may just be resisting change.

Clod, I will tone that down. The original brighter red was actually closer to the original notion of the scheme, the inspiration for which is called "pixelpusher" here:

I can't create a color scheme myself yet, but I can choose one and roughly follow it. This is progress.

Rock on with the new fonts, thank you!! The other was making me feel older that I was... *squint*

Is there a quick way of doing a monochrome scheme?

Same here (always at the office when I'm here) and great idea.

P.S. I know that the new color scheme you did to match my signature colors the way it matched the other one also and I know that you love me so much because I love you so much and this is like a special message from you to me that you can't say out loud but that's okay because I understand and we can be together forever in my heart always.

I thought the skinny font was kind of cool, but taking it back to this retains the continuity to the old style.

I like the colors. Paging through that swatch book taught me that there are a lot of damn ugly colors schemes out there. I mean, I already knew from direct experience, but now I know where they get them.

For about 30 seconds about a minute ago ... was everything set for a serif font that was overly large?

xoxoxoBruce · 01-04-2007, 11:13 AM

Your right, he must be playing with fonts.

wolf · 01-04-2007, 11:16 AM

I really like serif fonts, at least for reading hardcopy, they are much easier on the eyes.

But not times roman. I dislike times roman. I'm more of a palatino or garamond girl.

Undertoad · 01-04-2007, 11:16 AM

They sure don't make it easy.

Iggy · 01-04-2007, 11:16 AM

I am still undecided about this color scheme. I like the font in the reply box a lot... don't know what it is. It is fun to try out something new though. Thanks for all your hard work UT.

I do really like the new banner monkey though. Good looking out.

These two don't miss a beat. Ever-vigilant, their eagle-eyes trained on the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as The Cellar, their cat-like reflexes perched on the edge of the seat of a hair-trigger, ready to snap, like the steel trap that is their minds!

Stop it. Just stop it. You are banned from any more sucking up until the election is over.

You can't ban me, only my best-friends-in-the-whole-world-forever-and-ever, wolf and Bruce can do that!
