Yeah, I'm not feeling them either, but like I say, I may not be able to change them. I'll know more tonight! Wink

Some folks are susceptible to bright light and bright backgrounds. I should know, I am too (did ya not notice my glasses are reacitve ones?)

I have t' admit, I have less of a prob with backgrounds since I got the TFT (flatscreen) monitor, the old one used to give me violently painful headaches tho'.

I sit with my head about a foot from the screen.
I sometimes wear sunglasses when it hurts too bad though. I should get one of those screen-tinter things.

I'm too cheap to do that! Shocked

I'll tape some kind of tinting gel sheet over the screen. Very Happy

Whoah -- I leave for a few days and i-kandi changes up the decor. Nice! Easy to use. Lite on graphics, but it's clean.

A bit, yes. I think it's 'cos it's almost all the same light colour. Maybe some different grades of grey (if that's the colour you're going with now) might break it up a little.

You know, I thought grey would have been THE safest colour of all to use.

Ya lives n learns, huh?

I'll see if I can get an alternative skin uploaded for you ASAP. Smile

That would be most kind of you, ma'am. Smile

I guess it's why I liked the TFL look so much - 'cos of the dark. But I know you don't like the black look.

greys and various shades of blue would help to break up the greyness a bit. If you still have the link, Kandimus, pop over the The Kennel and see what I've done over there color-wise.

I was gonna put a Decepticon purple in the various header bars.

Now I'm leaning more towards having multiple skins so you can just choose one you like and have done with it.

And for the record, this is a skin ripped from one of the Mac OS standards, so you KNOW its sound design. Wink

Its just a bit.... John Major is all.

These peas are rather nice, dear...

Yeah, a bit of purple or blue would be nice to break things up a bit. Probably would also lessen the impact of the grey on my peepers.

Sorry to be awkward.

I can't get to last page at all without opening it from the 1st of a thread. I'm highlighting it correctly, I get the little highlight box and then 1st page here I come.

If you're even a nanometer to the side of a number, seems to ignore what you've clicked and takes you to page 1. Not just me getting it, so not my imagination Sad Crying or Very sad

Ooer!

Its not affecting me. I wonder if the hard-to-click-on-it-ness is anything to do with the font size setting and/or screen resolution?

No idea why it would throw you back to page one though...

*ponders*

Lemme get back to y'all on that.
