Forum theme; can it be changed? - RCDad - 02-17-2005
The current theme is extremely hard for me to read, I'm not sure if its the greys on black or what but it would be nice if there were a more contrasting color scheme. I can't find anywhere in the CP to change it?

Currently, members don't have the option to switch themes. I've been meaning to add a second, one with lighter colors, but never got around to it. I wasn't aware that some members may have a hard time with a dark theme. I'll move it to the top of my list.

OK, so I tinkered for a few minutes. There is a new option box available at the bottom of the page for the theme. The main one is Chitown R/C. Also in the list you'll see Chitown R/C Light. This will be a brighter version of the current theme. I tinkered with the colors a tad, so it looks like crap right now, but it's a start.
I'll continue to make changes untill I got something I like. Along the way, if anyone has comments/suggestions about the new theme in the works, just post it up. Comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Wow, changing the page to the light makes a big difference. I dont know if that is good or bad, though. Ill stick with the orginal.

Wow, much better. Maybe its got something to do with the fact that I'm using Opera but most links show up dark blue, and on the black background it's like....really tough to see.

It might be. This design was built around internet explorer, so some stuff might not look right on other browsers.
