Black background, white text

Member Posts : 1 Age : 64

You know, this black background with white text is very difficult to read. It actually kind of hurts my eyes. Anybody have this problem?

Nope. Have you tried turning the brightness down?

Subject: Re: Black background, white text Sun May 31, 2009 10:26 am

No it works great for me!Maybe you can adjust brightness like Mike said,but i'm not good with computers,so i cant help ya!

Subject: Re: Black background, white text Sun May 31, 2009 2:50 pm

Seems fine to me.

Subject: Re: Black background, white text Sun May 31, 2009 3:26 pm

The background is actually medium gray with white text....Maybe your comp. color settings are a bit off. Sorry you are having trouble reading things...this is actually the first time I have had anyone have an issue with it!

Well I see a black background but it does not bother me much. At first it did but I am used to the site now Smile

Are you talking about the actual background or the background where posts show up?

Same here as Mike. I get grey on my Lappy, and black on the desktop box.

That is odd....really odd.....what is every else seeing, I always see the same ole gray.

Subject: Re: Black background, white text Mon Jun 01, 2009 12:36 am

I am using a HDTV not a monitor and nothing makes it grey LOL

Well all I can think is that it may be your service provider or your browser settings.

The Turtle Whisperer Posts : 1930

Wouldn't be the service provider. But browser settings and OS could be.

I just did some testing.

Laptop: Windows XP
Firefox - Grey
IE - Grey
Opera - Black

Desktop: OpenBSD/Gnome
Firefox - Black
Opera - Black

Phone: Treo/PalmOS
Blazer: Grey
Opera: Black

and for utter inconsistency, I checked the Opera browser on the Wii and it turned up grey. Smile

That has to be it then...anyone viewing the black, you may be able to change browser and view it correctly!

It may be just a rendering thing as well. The grey it's set to is really really dark. #0D0D0D is what's set. MC does it give you an option to set it by number or do you just get to pick from a list of colors?

Check out here and see what it comes up as for ya.

If you can, maybe try switching to #212121? Little brighter grey but should work for people where it's showing up black.

It is currently set to 212121 the quote box is 0D0D0D

The Turtle Whisperer Posts : 1930

Huh. Both the quote box and the background come up as 0D0D0D when I use Colorzilla to get the numbers. The greys also look identical to my eyes on my laptop.

I went through the code though and your totally right on the different shades of grey. I'm stumped why it's showing up slightly different each place though.

For the record, no matter what shade of grey or black I end up with on any of the computers I use, it's always looked good and has been readable to me.

I get gray on the laptop and the desktop. I wonder if it is the color quality settings on the display properties menu?
