Default poll : Who likes / hate this new background (white) ?

I for one hate it, it hurts my eyes and all the posts that were devised using colors that showed well on a gray background are now junk !

I have always used the haylazblue skin, whose background is white. I cannot read on black background, coz' it hurts my eyes.

So, I do not know what background you are talking about

I reverted back to the old black/grey style within moments of the change.

i dont know if im the only one who experienced this but my desktop shortcut kept returning me to the white background so i had to delete it then switch to the smart dark then recreate my desktop shortcut. not sure why it did that but maybe this helps someone else.

I'm too used to reading on dark backgrounds since it's easier on the eyes, so I changed it back right after I recovered from the temporary blindness :\

I alternate between the admin blue and smart dark. Smart dark works great with my firefox skin in Ubuntu.



Heh, heh, heh. Makes Vista look positively amateur. Also the switch didn't affect me and I didn't have to revert to the skin I like. Shields are up!
