    Boards irregularity

    http://forums.joltonline.com/showthr...2#post15041552

    The blue is quite calming, but I don't like the glare of the white...

    and when the surrounding blue and white page mixes with the normal black and yellow with white text within the post window - truly terrible.

    Will update the thread above as we learn more.

    Can we keep it as blue? Change all the yellow to blue instead, and have a slight tinge of gray to replace the white. This will tone down the glare. This is pretty nice. :)

    I don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about, but did you try giving the boards some Activia?

    Bishop informed me about 'worksafe' mode. Which is the same thing but less ... 'mixed'. I'm on that now and feeling quite chilled after all the yellow and black. I miss the black though. /emo

    You're probably on a different skin already Palem. It's just inexperienced and easily confused folks like me who are bewildered by the changing colours.

    I dislike Work Safe for the fact that the white is too glaring. A shade of gray would be better perhaps.

    A solution is being worked on as we speak. I agree Doom Scythe, the white is far too glaring. My goggles, they do nothing.

    The white hurts me physically.
    I'll be back.
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    I can't even see quotes without selecting now, don't the people doing the themes test them first? This is ugly.

    Lord have mercy! They are breaking the forums too!

    Like Luth's footer says, Jolt's motto: "If it ain't broke, let's screw it up"

    LOL

    However, I must say the look is much better. Just need better color scheme. So actually, decent job guys.

    Worksafe - gives you the white and blue skin, harsh on the eyes.

    Default - gives you the black and yellow skin, with artwork - I assume this is temporary.

    Will poke and dig further.

    I actually like the worksafe one now, don't think its too harsh on the eyes...an alternative black background one wouldn't be too bad if it was done right though, but kept both
