Default New Colour Scheme

What do people think about the new colour scheme?

I lovvvvvve some of the changes. Like the yellow and the beige with a hint of pink ... makes me feel good.

I did like the dark red/maroon which this morning turned to green. I do like the green but I think I liked the red/maroon better.

The orange ... I am not too keen on ... but perhaps it will grow on me.

I miss the colours on the smilies/icons but at the same time you can see the expressions much clearer now.

Overall much better.

Take care.

I love the little envelopes (unread posts) and the closed envelopes for posts already read. They are sooooooo cute!!!

I'm also hoping the orange will grow on me.

Looks great Wa'il!!

I like the new message icons too ... the full envelope. And yes, what happened to the coloured smiley's?? They look so pale and washed out ... the sad face really does need to be blue.

The colour scheme here on the forum helps to unify with the rest of the Active Lowcarber website. I think it's great that there's such visual consistency from page to page. Although, it's going to take me a while to NOT have to correct myself from typing " ... please click on the red menu bar at the top of the page .. "

It took me a while to take a shining to the orange also ... but I've chosen to think of it as GOLD instead. A nice sense of warm, sunny and inviting.

Glad you guys like it!

All the previous graphics, the coloured icons, and the dark red icons are still save in my backup and can be restored if the majority of you want them back.

Maybe wait a few days and see if they grow on you?

I initially was reluctant to replace the red logos for "Reply and new thread" with the dark green over orange. It's starting to appeal to me. Maybe a lighter shade of green over a lighter shade of orange?

No this last lighter shade of green is yuk. I liked the red best. The dark green was okay but the light green a definite no ... for me at least.

Lighter shade of orange might work better. I could think of it as gold as Doreen suggests.

We do keep you busy don't we Wa'il. Thank you for all your efforts to make us all happy.

Take care.

Hey Wa'il......isn't it a woman's rule that she can change her mind.....or are we being hard to satisfy???

Not to worry about me....I'm sure the orange will grow on me.... (I like Doreen's version of it being gold). I always say you can never go wrong with gold and diamonds!!! I'm trying to remember but I was thinking that orange was a colour that restaurants don't use...(or maybe it's one they use)...but I remember orange having something to do with people's appetites!!! Maybe orange is just what we need!!

Bet Karen might know............hummm

i love the new color scheme! just wanted to "weigh in" (har har) with my opinion. the only thing that bothers me is the white type on the light orange in some of the page headers (like the "Post Reply" for example). I think a nice dark grey for the type would be sweet.

anyway, congratulations on this highly successful and excellent vboard. i'm really happy to have found it and to be a (small, mostly lurking) part of it.
