      Which colour do you prefer reading in text on your chosen skin here in MW ... (the skin I see everyday is GT's Black.)

      Do you prefer the colour Dark Orchid?

      or ...

      Do you prefer the colour Purple?

      Just curious to know?

      In general, I think that I prefer the Purple.
      But on black I prefer the Dark Orchid.
      Sometimes my colour preference depends on my mood.

      I really wish I could say the same, especially being a visual artist. I do use the color variations to express different thoughts and emotions. LOL. But rarely are they my own.
      In this lifetime I seem to be stuck in 'blue' and 'Green'.

      I love Green.
      Blue and I have had our ups and downs over the years, but it is generally OK.

      Well I use the blue and gold skin and so the deeper colours are easier on the eyes to read....but personal preference? I love all shades of mauve/purple, red, green, blue and black text. The paler colours just don't work well with the skin I use.

      Good point.


      If the people your talking too cant read your text, are you then just talking to yourself?



      Something to remember is the people your posting too may not be using the same skin as you so your text colour may be almost impossible to read.

      My solution to that was/is to switch skins at least long enough to read the post, then switch back to my personal prefference.
      In addition to reading the post I can then also play around with the skins I usually don't use.

      Yep you can do that but then your asking people to change what they do just to read your post
      when you could just change your text color to facilitate them in the first place.

      What you could do is look at this post in a few diffrent skins to see witch colors work best and use them on the dark and light skins and chose those.


      Would be cool if there was an auto change depending on what skin the reader was using.

      But hey it's all good whatever way you look at it.

      Oh my goodness! Wait a minute!? Is that right!? Am I seeing Peter using colour!! No WAY!! ..... YES WAY!!!

      This thread is turning into a colour theory discussion ... which can be random enough ... so I guess it's still on topic as on topic as random thoughts can get I suppose!

      Ha very funny polly,OK while we are talkin about colorsrs and skins, some of the outstanding bugs have been fixed in GT Black and and Blackand, this topic kinda reminded me of them. A few new ones popped up as is always the way, so still working on the rest of those but buttons and borders are sorted on both... for now!

      For now work on it has to stop and do family things so it will have to wait till later.
      Enjoy!

      It snowed most of today. The birds who already returned home from their winter migration must be furious with their travel agents.

      Someone should really let the Robins know that 230 AM is just a little to early to be singing. LOL. Birds and their libidos. Hahahaha. Wait, that's another thread. Hehe.
      And the skins/colors.... hmmm. If not for the current setup a couple skins may have gone unnoticed by myself. In addition I enjoy the variety. As GT said, 'it's all good.'

      I turned on the national/international news broadcast this evening for approximately ten minutes, something I usually don't do anymore. And suddenly remembered why I don't do it. It's all about shock value for the sake of ratings which in turn generates revenue from sales of airtime for commercial advertisements.
      If that last sentence doesn't cause you to question the societal mindset... well...
