Updated color scheme?

[DaveD]

I seem to notice some changes to the color scheme around the forum. The number of likes down in the corner is a livelier red than before, and the colors in the main nav bar up top are subtly different too, it seems to me... or am I just hallucinating like an over-prompted AI??

The white text for titles on the channel page also pops more.

[RAYMBO]

Thanks for noticing. There were suggestions to improve the look. I tweaked the colors a bit.

And I fixed some that had slightly different versions of red. Like menus and buttons.

I noticed the like button count field.

[DaveD]

Cool! Glad to know I wasn't imagining things

[RiverJeff]

Thought it was my eyes seeing red again! Thank you!

Minor point, but while on "Recent Posts" the text in the tab goes to a cute embarrassed pink. But on "My Posts", "Recipes Only" and "Show Us" it's the "Help" that goes pink instead of the tab I'm on.

These are just CSS changes. So you may need to refresh the browser cache. CTRL+F5 (or CMD+R for Apple).

It’s the flashbacks you were warned about 😁

[Huskee]

Wait until you hear that you can change the predominantly red color scheme to a cool, refreshing blue. But I didn't tell you that.

RiverJeff Panhead John No idea if iPad is different, but it's aalll the way down as far as you can scroll at the bottom-left, under the page footer.

[Panhead John]

Huskee Yes sir, it’s there. Thanks, easier than going into settings for sure.

[RiverJeff]

Got it! Thank you

[DaveD]

Ooooooo!!!! The blue is here! I love it! It is definitely more soothing and easier on the eyes (I've always liked blue shades the best anyway). Nice work!

[Jim White]

Not bad. But I was hoping for a blue flame, too.

[SheilaAnn]

Found it!

Tried the blue and like it but had to switch back to red so I could easily see the difference between read, unread, and new posts which to my old eyes is more difficult to see in the blue. Maybe some tweaks can be made there.

[Huskee]

Since the traditional red view has 3 colors for topic links: bold blue (unread topic), bold red (read, but has new posts), and light red (read, and nothing new inside), it's hard to tweak it since we're eliminating red. We're down to just bold blue and light blue. RayJ might be able to find a different shade of blue to help but the differences might be subtle.

[RAYMBO]

I will do some color testing. See what works. I can always set the same colors for the read/unread the same as the red theme,

[DaveD]

raywjohnson Ray, that sounds like it could be the best of both worlds...

[RAYMBO]

I just set the titles to the same bold blue as the red theme. Will that work?

[Donw]

Ray, that is much better. Thanks.
One other thing the old eyes noticed is that the default font for the posts and comments appear to be smaller in the blue when compared with the red.

[Panhead John]

Huskee See there! Nah nah nah nah nah……….😂

[Donw]

Thank you again Ray. Much appreciated.

[DaveD]

Looks really great now, very easy on the eyes. My aging retinas really appreciate it! Colors in this part of the palette are much easier for me.
