We have a choice between light and dark. Which skin do you choose and why.
I choose orange and black because orange denotes ideas exchanged. Plus, this whole site is designed for two colours, and how could you not see it, you flagrant cow of another herd, How do you view this site and why.

This is what happens when I post too late at night, lol! I think what I was trying to ask is which skin do people prefer, the blue and silver or the black and orange. I`ve been toggling back and forth. The blue seems cleaner but the black is sharper.

I use the black and orange as it is better on old eyes with cateracts. _________________ Don't fuss about growing older, many are denied the chance. |

I prefer the black and orange. I wake up at strange hours alot and am unable to go back to sleep. I come to the computer and goof off for a while. The darker colors are much easier on the eyes fresh out of bed and in a dark house.  _________________

Wait, there are skin choices here? I've been here 2+ years and I never found the room in the fortress where I could change that. Time for a PGGB (it usually is) and a new tour of the Fortress... _________________ Fetch me the Holy Hand Grenade!

I found it and tried it out. It was easier on the eyes, the only problem I had was being able to tell at a glance where the unread postings were (not as easy when there are other orange tings on the screen). _________________ Fetch me the Holy Hand Grenade!

Isn't that for wasps? _________________ [img]http://boincstats.boincstats.com/search/all_projects.php?cpid=8fbcb4ce48ba412ccbb4337d9d2bf18a.gif[/img] |

Glad I read this thread. I had never seen the option either. The black is easier on my eyes, but I like Papa I'm color blind and it's hard to ID the read messages in the black/orange scheme. Another thing is that I can't tell links from text because the underline goes away...or was it ever there? _________________
