Please mimic the old color set, the same RGB and layout.
These new brighter colors with more white everywhere are eye burning and calling for headaches...

+1 , also the main page isnt uniform with the rest.

We kept the existing post background colors to make transition easier and because they are really a classic diyAudio color set. We did lighten them a little as they were very dark before and we had complaints about lack of contrast. Unfortunately every monitor is different - brightness, contrast and color gamut - and what looks good on one looks bad on another. Additionally, as 99.9% (100%?) of us are male, fully 1/12 are colorblind in some form, so we have to try to cater for a lot

I can't currently see any reason why not to offer a higher contrast and lower contrast version of the website skin in the future, you might see that appear in the next week or two. The skin was finalized at the 11th hour so expect to see plenty of changes and improvements in it as time goes on as well.

I like the new color scheme! Didn't mind the old one, but now I see how dark and murky it was.

My vote is for the new look. (but it does look just lke the Altec board - hope I don't get confused).

Missing avatars, titles and flags will all reappear in a few days. I'm working on restoring subscribed threads and those should be back some time next week.

This might not be so big loss since old threads tend to stay inactive.

Missing avatars,....

Maybe I should change my lithops avatar to something else?

DST loop hell

Bad bug in the Opera browser view.
I updated my time zone DST settings to automatically detect. Now I'm stuck in a never ending refresh cycle.

EDIT: Never mind. Cleared cache and that fixed it!

 

[AudioFreak]

Opera is no longer keeping up with standards so it will see progressively less support. Firefox and Internet Explorer are the standard browsers for windows platforms these days.

Apple's Safari isn't that bad on Windows.

I'd like to congratulate the upgrade team on a job well done !!!!!

It must have been quite a difficult task and I love the new look and additional features. The few teething problems that may arise don't detract from your achievement.

AudioFreak... i expected you to still be asleep. Kudos to you for all the work and long hours you put in to make this transition a reality.

Yes. It was nice to do a quick scan of the list of headers to find ones you were interested in before by indicating previouly visited links.

Yup. That's exactly what I used that for.

Tremendous job... favicon still missing, though (probably the last of your worries ).

I disagree (vehemently) with Eva about the screen colours being too bright, and causing headaches. That's entirely subjective. I much prefer the brighter, higher visual bandwidth skin.

Colour is not bothering me...but i also feel that a little bit more darker

could be more confortable..say..it is not bothering me "too much", not the colour, but the ligth... those excesses of ligth in our eyes are not confortable..it is too brigth i think, as i use to reduce the monitor brigth when acessing this new forum images...this seems my sensors are over exposed...there are a little bit too much white..i would like more gray and blue.

My monitor has also automatic adjustment feature, that works fine with any site or image..but i use to disable while watching our forum...this seems to me that is a clue that something is a little out from the standard.

Also i could not switch avatars "on"... no avatar is beeing shown.

Someone knows how to put them to work, to appear?

regards,

Carlos

Yes, we all have our display preferences, so FWIW, here's mine WRT contrast, though not necessarily the color choices:
