Olurum Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm not sure how much of an issue it was on the old boards (did it have other themes?) but would it be possible to consider a new moderator text colour (like red)? Since the update I've been using the "Original" (or basically, white) theme and I've come across dozens of moderator messages that were too bright to read. I usually like to browse comments via the forum rather than the nexus and always read moderator comments to learn what was done wrong. Also, newer members who use the theme may not notice that their posts were edited and continue to do something wrong. With a colour like red I thought the moderator text will be visible on all themes. I've so far been fine with highlighting them (as if they were similar to the old forums spoiler tag) but others may not feel the same... though I'm only raising the issue now as I've come across 5 or 6 posts within the last hour that I couldn't read. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roquefort Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Yeah I'll second that. Yellow is unreadable unless you use the dark theme. Even highlighted the text isn't that legible. Thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHammonds Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well, back in the day when I used YELLOW text to make my edits stand out, it kinda stuck as being an "official" color to let people know a moderation act has occurred. It may very well be time to change the color we use but it will be impossible to go back and edit all old posts to change the color. I'm not sure red would be the best choice though...can color-blind people even see red text or does it just come across as gray? EDIT: In my tests, it seems the best color for light and dark themes is orange. Shall this be our new yellow? What say you team? In the color pallet, it is the 2nd box to the right, 2nd box down LHammonds COLOR TEST YELLOW: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Excellent - Light Theme: Poor (Washed out) RED: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Poor - Light Theme: Excellent GREEN: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Excellent - Light Theme: Fair WHITE: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Excellent - Light Theme: Suck Factor 1 (Invisible) ORANGE: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Excellent - Light Theme: Excellent CYAN: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Good - Light Theme: Poor BLUE: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Poor (Washed out) - Light Theme: Excellent PURPLE: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Fair - Light Theme: Good PINK: Test of the emergency broadcast system. - Dark Theme: Good - Light Theme: Poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienSlof Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Orange is probably the best compromise for all background colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olurum Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Ahh, oops... I suppose I should've done the testing for you guys when suggesting the change. :sweat: Orange does indeed seem to be the favourable choice for both forum themes and the nexus' grey background.
