Forum Colors Vs. Font Colors

[VamPyroX]

I noticed that some members use their own font colors when making posts in the forums.

Sometimes, those colors don't work well with the forum colors. For instance, the original forum color is "Light Scheme". Some members use bright colors like white, light blue, or gray as their fonts. Some may think it's cool because it's their favorite color... but it becomes a pain in the ass for others who can't read it well.

Now, there's a new scheme... "Dark Scheme" where everything is the opposite. This is a problem for those who prefer to use dark color for their fonts. That would be dark green, dark blue, dark red, etc. Those are hard to read in the "Dark Scheme" aspect of AllDeaf.

I have a few questions for you...

For those of you who like to use your own color, why do you pick that color?

For those of you who don't like when people use their own color, why not?

This is just to get a better understanding of where people stand when it comes to using multiple schemes.

I thought it was a cool idea when Alex added "Dark Scheme", but it doesn't work out for a few members who use dark colors for their fonts.

I like the Dark theme but it's kinda depressed but still you can add more themes as much as you can. So many of AD'ers can decide what theme do they want.

I tried the dark theme some time and got back to the default theme. I am sure there are some people who are more comfortable with dark colors. As for font colors, I don't have much problems with colors as long as colors do not harm readability.

Well, I am sorry. I like the dark red for my fonts. I've been usin' it for a long time before Alex added a new dark theme.

That's alright. It's your choice. I guess I'll go ahead and start using my own color.

Not sure why I use green, but I like to stand out from the "others" I use blue on other sites. I need big letters because I ain't a young fella no more, and it helps me to see what I have done.

What if AllDeaf offered green skin here or the other website offered blue skins? How would your text be read?

You say you like to use green here. If AllDeaf offered a green scheme and members picked that scheme, they wouldn't be able to read your posts well.

If other sites offered blue schemes and their members picked that scheme, they wouldn't be able to read your blue posts there.

So, how would they be able to read your comments? That's like saying, "If you want to read my comments, you must avoid using that colored scheme."

well for me, having ALLLLLLL back background just is POOR visablity for those who have low vision, and for those who use white background with standard font black mode, its best all around to defuse any colors that will detract the readers with low visablity i ended up having to grab my glasses in the black fonts cuz i was squinting so much it did not bode well on me went back to the default font, i do WISHED the grey/blue was back on cuz i did like that well cuz it was easy for me to read...

for me in the color mode in text i dont change anything cuz i have consideration for those with low vison or readers with plms reading colors. only use colors on my IMS thats it.

I cannot debate the future look of AD; I am not in control of those decisions. If there are more options down the road, I will deal with those appropriately. I am guessing black is going to be the font color of choice. What about my previous posts that are green, will they become unreadable? I am not alone on the color fonts. Maybe when the new schemes are added, the option for color font could be removed at that time, therefore no problems. I shall keep my eyes open for the announcement of new schemes.

Yes, same problem with me, I am currently using the Dark scheme and it's not working well with colors, only can read white font color.

yeah white fonts makes my eyes watery but I do like the dark theme, but prefer a different color font where it's not so bright....that's why I changed my background color since black fonts don't hurt my eyes....

Yeah, schemes are only best if the default font color is used.

If you say you want to use black, then it will be black in all schemes. If you leave it alone when you make a post, then the color will be what the scheme assigned it to be.

For those of you who like to use your own color, why do you pick that color?

I only use blue to quote ADer's post to aviod the confuse color between my and ADer's post.

I make my own post then use black color.

For those of you who don't like when people use their own color, why not?

It doesn't bother me really. It's their choice, not mine... I accept their color when I want to quote each posts with blue color.

I thought it was a cool idea when Alex added "Dark Scheme", but it doesn't work out for a few members who use dark colors for their fonts.

I don't like Dark Scheme because "typing white color" bothers my eyes... I rather to have light scheme and typing black or blue color.

If you press CTRL+A, it will highlight the whole page. Fonts will become default color when you highlight them.
