Problem with New Forum Skin

[David Brasher]

I just discovered that some of the words in a script you put in a code snippet box end up as black letters on a dark gray field. It is almost impossible to read. I really wish it could be some other color. The way it used to be was fine. I would be happy if it was that way again.

I am testing this concept on my own computer before adding a proper response.

Yeah, it is kinda rough. I was going to suggest monitor calibration, but no, you're right, it's damn hard to read. XD

I'll see if I can't fix the code box. The easiest solution that would work for all forum skins would be to set the background color to be the same no matter what skin is used.

 

Researching....

 

EDIT: The BBCode references a CSS class and simply adding style='background-color: #CCCCCC;' does not fix it because the class overwrites the in-line style. Basically, this means Dark0ne is the only one that can fix it properly because it requires modifying the CSS (which I do not have access). Of course, I "could" remove the CSS class reference but it would kill the nice highlighting...which works in the light skin.

I guess I need to change my settings to use the light skin, but that won't help if I write a script for someone who uses the dark skin. Maybe I could remember to warn people to stop using the dark skin.

[LHammonds]

Just go ahead an use it as normal. It will eventually get fixed. Until then, you can suggest to those that are using the Dark skin to highlight the code to see and copy it if they cannot see anything.

Another problem with the dark skin: How large are the background images, because the site is almost unusable from work and scrolling lags noticeably here at home too. Turning off images immediately solves the problem.
