colours on the sides?

  #1  
Sep 9th, 2007
I.e matching the colour specific forums, purple for the coffee house etc.

I have to say I don't like it, it's quite distracting, especially since some colours are an absolute abomination.

Please can we go back to before. Does anyone else agree. [edit]shuda created a poll, doh![/edit]

I like having the colors.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.

I dunno, maybe if she incorporated some kinda css gradient with it they might work.

At the moment block colours don't work, especially as some forum colours are quite in yer face e.g (IT water cooler).

Noted. There is a thread all about this in Area 51 which goes into detail about what I'm trying to achieve. I want to get more feedback, and then I'll see if I can find a way that incorporates what you don't like about it with all of the desired effects I'm trying to achieve with it.

No access to area 51
Although, I probably have an idea why you did it. Your colour theory ideas and what-not

But the background shouldn't detract the attention from the main content. At the moment I feel it does especially since some forum colours are quite bold. I think if this is going to work well a css gradient might be needed perhaps?

The light gray on the forum index looks excellent. The rest of the colors -- oh, it burns, it burns!

Question: When you say the light gray on the forum index looks excellent, do you mean that you like it better than having just all white with no background color?
