dark/black background

[flow fx]

Could you guys please make a darker background for the site, make it a VB Style or somerthing. I'll post information on how having 3 tubes inside of the monitors on full blast causes eye damage if you'd like.. Among other things, migraines, etc.

Please.

Dont make me go blind.

Having webpages/documents emulate paper was a completely idiotic thing Microsoft decided to do while bored one day.

Yes I can turn down the gamma and shit, but all you have to do is make 3-4 backgrounds black, or dark grey, and your done.. White backgrounds are the devil.

tried vb3 style?

[flow fx]

yeah its still pretty light.. a little better though. im starting to get migraines everytime I goto a webpage with a white background.. working on computers too much.. I think it started from reading Ebooks in Word, but then I realized I can read them in Adobe and change the background to black.. its amazing how much better it feels to look at a black background while reading..

Ive got my gamma/brightness turned all the way down.. still the whole time.. bah, guess it doesnt bug anyone else

That's odd. I'm just the opposite. I browse the G2IC forums (http://www.g2ic.com/forums/) periodically and the black background really bothers my eyes. So much so that I almost dread going there for info.

[soulDistortion]

When I get some free time, I'll look into making a dark background style or something.

To be honest though, if it's that much of a problem, you maybe might want to get it checked out (your eyes, that is)?

I went there to check it out and I think its the bright red that really does it it bothered me too.

Goto www.tidewaterracing.com and click forum and tell me if that bugs you. Really dull site but its great on my eyes. No "piercing" colors or anything

I really like sites that are black backgrounds w/dark grey or just grey writing. I do that when I read documents now.

Soul; yeah my eyes are fucked from working on computers. I should really change majors but its too late. Thanks for looking out though

[dave22]

You're right. It must be the contrast that bothers me. The Tidewater Racing layout is definitely more relaxing.

Good idea. I tend to highlight everything i'm reading so it has that blue background and white text, works well.

Something like this?

Yeah man that looks like it works good.

MIght be a little better if grey was used instead of white though, less contrast, but if you can do either that'd be awesome

I love ls1tech. I set it to "Plasma" and let it roll.

On a side note I love VB3 here. I haven't used VB2 in a while and somtimes when people try to link me to a thread it shows up in VB2 and I can say that I don't miss that style at all.

For the adventurous: http://www.dragva.com/forums/index.php?styleid=11

It is a work in progress at this point so there's a good chance some of the buttons/colors aren't right. When you see the choice in the style chooser at the bottom left you'll know its done.

If you have any suggestions for colors now would be a good time to speak up ;)

It looks exactly like normal DVA?

[SloRSX]

yea.. that's the same

[eng]

It looks exactly like normal DVA? Hrm, guess only admins can view styles that aren't on the drop down list.

I guess I'll just enable it and you can let me know what's wrong. http://www.dragva.com/forums/index.php?styleid=11 should work now.

this is pimp.

Can you make the the lightest grey a shade darker?

Other than that I love it

[coupey]

hmmm, i think ill stick to vb3

[eng]

Can you make the the lightest grey a shade darker? Better?

[VADA9]

Thats sweet, much better on the eyes!

[Tarzan Bakerada]

can u put the state behind the Dragva.com icon at the top left like VB3, but gray or something?

[Slimsta Jimsta]

this is pretty pimp

[flow fx]

Better?
Hell yeah, it's perfect. Thanks a lot guys

I didn't think anyone would care. You are my heroes.

[eng]

can u put the state behind the Dragva.com icon at the top left like VB3, but gray or something? The logo is just temporary until a new one is made.

Let me know if you find any icons, buttons, etc that are the wrong color. Or if you have any suggestions on different colors; I'm not to fond of the link color myself, but I couldn't find anything I liked better.

[Ej8Kid]

This is hott i like alot much easier on the eyes

[WillsH22Accord]

now what about vb2 dark?

[eng]

now what about vb2 dark? The vB2 style is only there for those too lazy to change to something else or don't know any better.

I don't see the reason for me to make another style based on it.

[WillsH22Accord]

Well I'll just stick to the vb2 white, and continue being lazy.
