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.

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.

There are some really amazing ASCII IOTDs out there, I'm sure.

When I was a child there was a beloved printout on greenbar in my house, so beloved it was framed and hung in the living room (in 1968 you could do stuff like that because it was such an ususual thing). The image was JFK. You can't do much better than that in an Irish Catholic household. Well, okay, you can, but we didn't have any framed pictures of the Pope.

How come yours has the weather forecast at the bottom - thats cool!! Now I want it.

BigV · 01-04-2007, 06:49 PM

Your wish is my command.

I'll even throw in our weather... :rain: :rain: :rain: :repeat:

I have an additional opinion on the color scheme to throw out there... feel free to ignore it; it's certainly been said before that I'm not a visual person. There is less contrast now between the text of a post and the background color, and I find myself straining a little bit to see it. Quoted text is still showing up in black, which is easier to see. It probably doesn't have to go all the way to black to be easier to see though, maybe just a darker shade of whatever olive color it is.

The "Sterile for work" mostly-gray version is now available from the style chooser.

Nifty! My life now has less color, at least at work. Thank you, UT!

Pie · 01-05-2007, 10:49 AM

Although the white-on-light-gray timestamp for the posts is darn hard to read...

Undertoad · 01-05-2007, 10:58 AM
