It is a slow day for Coolbreeze.
This is an item of slight irritation. I have searched the forum web page to lodge my feeling with “management”, but have not found where I can go to do that.
The topic heading is *amn hard to read for me. The dark maroon(?) makes it hard to read the black font. Am I the only one bothered by this?

Hey Coolbreeze.
It's funny you mention this. I was logged on from my home computer today and had the same complaint: the black writing doesn't show up over the orange bar. On my work computer, however, the orange is not as dark so its not an issue.
Our design department makes all the color decisions so I'll have to pass this up the food chain. In the meantime, you might try adjusting your screen settings a bit lighter.

I cranked it up all the way and it helped a little. When you make your suggestion to design, please tell them I vote for white font. Notice the "shopping cart" and contrast it to the "General Discussion".
Thank you for your reply.
Computer monitors should not need to be adjusted for different WEB pages. Fonts on colored backgrounds should, in all cases be as contrasting as possible to avoid this problem. White on a dark color and black on a light color generally works best as not all users understand color quality settings on PCs.
If you right click on an empty area of your desktop and select properties then Settings, your Color Quality shoud be set to the highest allowed by the adapter. The dropdown list will reflect this. This setting will provide the best color quality you can acheive given the hardware in use.

Bob,
I've tinkered with contrast and brightness. What needs to be done for Coolbreeze is to change the font to white instead of black. Look at the readability of the white font on this page and contrast it to the discussion tabs in the left.
Told you I didn't have anything to do:>)
coolbreeze,
I just inherited a #6 that is in pitiful shape that you could while away your hours with. :-) :-) Going to try it with the new shueting board I made.

Oh yeah, when I went to look at your profile, it just shows a blank white sheet. How did you do that? Best be careful l with your idle moments!

I'm not sure I understand what you are referring to. On both of my computers, the forum banner is really a dark reddish tan with white lettering. The tabs are blue with white lettering.
We're refering to the forum folder tabs on the left: "general discussion," "finishing," etc, where it's black or dark blue on orange.
