Matrix Games Forums

Let us know what you think. We will be updating the products page over the next couple of days...fans of hex based tactical gaming will be happy

Pls,give me back the blue colour of the forum,pls.I cant live without it(it remembers me the...blue screens of death,lol)

Ahem,look at my post above:black letters on a DARK grey back are not so readible...

My opinion, too!!

I knew this thread would be somewhere on these forums... It's probably doing me some good to get out of SPWAW and have a look around

I also vote for a tweaking of the colours to provide greater contrast for the text. Perhaps if the light and dark grey backgrounds were closer to each other, a text colour that nicely contrasts both would be easier to find. Or something...

Edited to add:

Ooh, while I'm here I'll also cast a vote for increasing the number of threads listed on a page from 25 to around 50. This will help keep recent threads on the front page of the higher traffic forums. Actually, since this might annoy the lower traffic forums, is it possible to do this for only the high traffic ones?

Thanks for the input, will fix that ASAP.

Cheers, Marc

Better now?

Yes, the dark grey backgrounds were too dark. Looks much better now. Blue or grey, I'll guess we'll soon get used to whatever is chosen.

Not as nice as the old blue, but I can now read well again.

Paul,

My opinion is that the new design is pretty horrible. Dark and depressing compared to the old design

We´re a mean bunch

Going against the general opinion here, but I think it looks good.

Same here. I like the whole new make over that the Matrix site is getting...

Hmmmm....I tend to agree.... Thank God for the blue stripe at the top. Just from a pure design standpoint there is so much black and white here that anything with color looks out of place...and who is the "magical soldier" making a rifle levitate in the logo...I would lose that fast..


Don't like it.....sorry...

You guys do such a great job building and supporting games....this design distracts from that imho.

I like the new look and feel, very clean. A step up from the bright blue..

Of course, I used to build 16bit Windows Apps.

Most excellent! I will now discard my prepared request for fluorescent text.

I assume you´re a wargamer too and interested in WW2, right? You should know that image then . Possibly one of the famoust of WW2.

the colors are really difficult, the text doesn't contrast with the background very well at all!

Tell me if I'm right:it makes me think abt the indeed famous photo of the soldier killed during Spanish Civil War(i dont remember which side he was fighting for).

If so,let me say we need a real BIG phantasy to figure the logo as a copy of that photo...

BTW:is it me or Image feature of the UBB code it's nopt working?
