So you don't want to change it, that's fine. Just don't try and blame me for the "white" you have on here.


BTW; I do know about all those little buttons on my monitor.

We might try to make it a user option to select the forum background and text color. Sometimes I like white letter on a blue background.

There's a light gray style made just for you! Go to the bottom of the page and you can select a style now. Choose the Motorgen - Light Gray style. Hope your eyes are happier!

I really appreciate your effort here. But, I don't see a difference in the color. Thanks for trying.

It's subtle, but I can see the difference. Maybe it is your monitor?

The whites have been toned down a little more. Check the contrast and brightness settings on your monitor - if either is up near 100%, that could explain why the whites are so blown out. Try switching back and forth between the two Motorgen styles to see if you notice a difference. Are there other sites with a lot of white in them that you sometimes go to? If you can, try this comparison - open the Google homepage (almost all white) and resize your browser to half of the screen. Open another browser with the Motorgen forum in it using the light gray style, resize that browser to half the screen and place it next to the browser with Google in it so you can see them side by side. Are both whites equally hard on your eyes, and do the whites look the same?

New style: try the Motorgen - Dark style.

Out of curiosity, on you monitor, do the dark greys all look the same, or are there visible differences among them? Thanks!

Yes, I do know about the little button on my monitor. There was no change between the colors. I'll live with it. Too much work is being put into this.
