I think I'm getting old: I would like to have been warned before such a drastic change occured; and, I don't like it. It's too bright!

I like it! I think a change of color or a change to its look and feel are good. Haven't you ever wondered if the owner of one of your favorite sites even pays attention to his own page after it hasn't changed in a year? This is definatly better!

Olives were ok but very pro US looking, the current blues and grey are very sort of german field unifomish, if there is a change in the future though I am voting a nice shade of tommy tans.:)

The only objection I have is that the gray/white/blue is very much a default for almost every vBulletin forum there is. The green/olive gave Matrixgames' a unique look.

Otherwise, I think this is an improvement. Fresh, crisp and very stylish. :cool:

Reminds me too much of what happens here during winter months. Don't need to be reminded of our annual 160" of snow. Whoever did this uses a seeing eye dog - they have to be blind. If I look at it long enough, I'll join them.

I think I am developing a case of "walleye vision" from the new colors. :eek:

Too bright in my opinion. Darker=Easier-on-the-eyes!

I have to concur - I am going snowblind reading the forum the last couple of days.

Too Bright!

This is like skiing without goggles on. I think my retinas are getting burned. Especially at night with the lights down low.

... I just did an experiment...
I turned on all the task lights in my office and the screen does not seem so bad. With the lights down low (the way I like to work), the screen is terribly bright and hurts the eyes.

I bet the person(s) who selected this scheme work in a very bright office environment. It would be nice if the skin was selectable. That way we could all be happy.

Perhaps....

a darker shade of Panzer Grau would be easier on the eyes?

I like the changes...I prefer a lighter color than black...but maybe a mid-ground can be found for those who don't like the brillant shades before them?

Perhaps Gmenfan can assist? How about it Gmenfan...can you bump a request up the ladder??? Is there an opinion box we can sent ballots to? :D

Ok, I did my part. :p ;) :D
