Emon Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Bright white is horrible. Grays, blues, and blacks are very, very easy on the eyes, I suggest you simply lower the brightness all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=DarkZero=- Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 If it was black and silver, a spacey type interface it would look cooler, but i guess white is ok IT WILL HELP ME BECOME THE DAREDEVIL FASTER -is going blind- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Well, the banner is nice, but I really hate the colors...I will become blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Originally posted by Acrylic Well, the banner is nice, but I really hate the colors...I will become blind. Yeh, like we were saying in MSN, this is actually giving me a headache. :| I really loved the old forum colors. Can't it be Black, grays, and blues? (ooh, maybe Gold Text on a black backround ^_^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC3po Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Well as I mentioned before, expect the design to change. We just wanted to get something that matched with JediKnight.net for now. I personally like white (as JediKnight.net shows), but I understand it is a little glaring at the moment. Although it is rather nice to have a change every once and a while.

Lil Killa Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I like this but I thin it should be toned down just a tinny bit. Also center the threads again I liked it like that:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whit wouldn't be that bad, if it was just a small part, but not a lot of the scheme. People usually like Dark Colors (except Daring Dueler, when I made him a map, he wanted all bright bright textures, and it looks kinda weird..... but yeh... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a single forum here devoted to Jedi Knight. * taps the Jedi Academy forum, adds other relevant forums as planned. I also highly suggest thouse with brightnext/glare problems set the gamma rates for their monitor at something reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 well, im wondering, why should i adjust my gamma jsut for this forum? Doesnt make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Well, why should your gamma be set so high as to hurt your eyes? They're your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 When i first saw the frontpage and it said "Jedi Knight Series", i thought ok, that seems good since it's not JK2 anymore but when i got to the Swamp i jumped out of my skin, OMG it's changed alot Not bad but a little to white IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, every other palce I go doesn't have a forum with colors that make my eyes hurt. I like the blue, but lets get some darker colors too. White isn't really a Jedi Knight color.

Darth Eggplant Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 my avitar offers wonderful variations of purple, let da swamp go aubergine. ooooo wonderous eggplant, koo koo ka choo. but what is really, really terrifying is the thank you you have just posted screen. man stay away from the light! don't step into the light. the scroll bar at the side is pretty.

matt-- Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Originally posted by ZBomber White isn't really a Jedi Knight color. Let's see. White and all light colors tend to represent good. Dark colors represent evil, traditionally. So, a game based on the exploits of Jedi, with the accepted storyline having Kyle being a light side Jedi, should be associated with evil... I think light colors make more sense. My screen doesn't hurt my eyes. Maybe you left an option unconfigured in your video card setup. Check your properties, it should be under your 3d card setup tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you see some mad motha****as blowing people up with guns and lightsabers? ^_~ Not trying to be mean Matt. Just giving you my 2 cents.

Tyrion Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 The colors are a bit bright, but they dont hurt my eyes at all. Maybe it's just the fact that I actually seen sun-light, and thus dont mind bright lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I like the colors. However. There is a little too much White Space up at the top. I dunno, it just seems like the banner should be bigger. It kinda sucks when the ad is almost the size of our banner. It should be bigger! p.s My glow is not showing up in this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I kinda like it, although a tone down would be good;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 yay when did this happen?? hmm. in my opinio its too bright. the posts bg is ok but the white border is too much.. it shouldcould be darker.. and i dont say it should be dark because i like 'dark' (like boohoo).. my EYES tell me to turn it a bit down with the brightness.. for people which are using a crt-monitor THIS may cause extra radiation exposure .. .. and i prefer and dark bg with bright characters written on it, because it's less annoying to the eyes in not BRIGHT lightened rooms. no dont make it 'overused'-dark make it friendly 'notsobright' .. anyway i like the banner .. but its too dark for the white border .. so this was my bright opinion..

Swoosh Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I'm sure we'll be adjusting the colors since everyone has said they are too bright. Give us a few days to mess around wi this...I'm sure we won't stop until most everyone is happy Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I don't know why everyone is complaining unless you have done something between this post and when people saw the forums. I happen to think they look nice and it is actually a little dim for me I had to turn up my brightness. I was just kidding about turning it up but seriously there is nothing wrong with mine. Continue with the good work people. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Gosh, so this is the big change? Kind of makes me feel like a foreigner to a new land inside. The feeling will pass when I'm a little more used to this change. Cool banner. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
