Can the colour of the board be changed?
« on: September 21, 2008, 03:22:04 PM »
I've converted most screens that I can with Firefox userstyles to black or grey.

eg of YT in black



Think the colour of the board could be changed to a darker colour? I'm not suggesting black or grey, something darker would be better. Strains the eyes when reading a light coloured page.

You can change the themes to others, I think I may have one or two others here, you can look, but I tend to keep the same colors. Maybe once the Olympia and Nationals are over, and it slows down, I can look into different themes.

I didn't realize that Ron had a dark theme to the board. I've always used the light yellow theme thinking it was the only one.
I've always preferred the dark backgrounds myself.

thanks bro----just converted all my backgrounds to black
gotta love firefox

NB, is that a specific extension for Firefox? Is it compatible with the latest version (I lost all my favorite add-ons because they're not compatible with the newest version yet :()?
Gotta link?

just go to "tools" on your firefox toolbar on the top of the screen

than click on "options"

than go to "content" and click on the "colors" box and select your background colors etc----just make sure you de-click the box that says "allow websites to use their own colors, instead of my selections above"

that should work for you bro

Worked like a charm NB. Thanks a lot!
I think I messed around with this for a long time when I first got Firefox, but it never worked. So I must have not un-checked the box stating "allow websites to use their own colors."

Works now, and my eyes aren't straining as I read GetBig. Well, they are, but for other reasons that Ron has no control over unless he bans half the board (or more!).

:) :) :)

thanks NB

FF is the best!

even if you changed the board to a blue or light grey it would be nice. nothing too dark, not so light as the yellow.

Its no big deal if people have firefox and they want to do this. But that yellow can be an eye strain.

this is what mine looks like now.
