Colours are terrible.

[#1]

When are the colours going to be changed on this forum? It looks as though it's been through the wash to many times. I much prefer the old forum colours, at least they don't cause eye strain. Pink, pink and more pink!!

[#2]

I agree, the colour scheme is terrible but ISTR that SMF is skinable, maybe a few skins wouldn't go amiss.

[#3]

I just found that you can change the skin yourself to one of the default ones. Go to Profile then Look and Layout Preferences then Current Theme: XXX (change). Just need to get Colin to add a few more

[#4]

You might be able to but that option isn't in my profile as far as I can see

[#5]

I can't see it mine either.

[#6]

Nor me.  Is this something that has yet to be rolled out to members or just that the customisation is wrong?

Nor me. I've looked in the PUG forums and can see the option in my Profile on there so I know I'm looking in the right pace.

[#8]

Hmm, and my theme just changed back... off to speak to Colin...

[#9]

Got to agree, colours are not going to be popular!  Personally I think they are a little too light for a white background.
Any chance of some choices then?
Thanks in advance,
Rich.

Yes have to agree something definitely needs be done about the colour, it is drab and looks like something that has been through a car wash ;D.

[#11]

another vote here to get the colours changed, much to 'soft'. We're not all 20-somethings with 20-20 vision you know 😉

[#12]

Why don't you just give us a choice of themes, just like the unhacked phpBB board etc etc.. being stuck with one colour is rather boring you know - and besides, what difference does it make to anyone else if you want your theme colour to be bright orange or similar?

[#13]

Yep, agreed... the pink text on white background has to be the worst colour combination for readability. If themes aren't allowed, then can;t the default be changed to black text on white background - surely the best colour combination for text based forums?

What's all this about pale washed-out pink?
This is pale washed-out pink!
To me the forum seems to be using a slightly paler washed-out version of what I'm writing here in something that's described as purple.

I'd call it pinky-purple, puce-like. Not nice. Can't change them using the options available in profile so wearing coloured spex. Occam's Razor (google it  :))
