Green is relaxing. It's not just me, it's in all of us. Read up on colour psychology...

Just put it back to what it was! It's getting far too complicated!

*sigh* I beg to differ, but color psychology isn't true for EVERYONE. Also, "Green is relaxing" is a direct contradiction of your statement that green produces no emotion-- now you say it's relaxing.

Dark green is NOT relaxing if you can't read the words on the screen. My eyes do not appreciated long blocks of white text on dark green background. You clearly do not have this trouble, but my proposal to allow people to switch styles does not, in any way, shape, or form, impact your ability to see the game in the green-and-orange color scheme.

It is even less relaxing if the high frequency tone emitted by your computer screen shifts slightly (as mine does) and emits a nasty whine when the dark green background of Cantr is displayed.

Instead of having people vote to inflate the game's rankings on game sites and hope to get people in to play, why not actually make the site usable by more people?

*takes of his shirt to reveal a vest strapped to the brim with tear gas grenades* Ha Ha! ... This isn't that bad guys. Personally I was more distraught when they replaced Iron with Hematite o.o;;

Lol.... well personally, since the Colonel is on and apparently listening to me, I think I'll use a suggestion another time. Since i'm sure there are a very limited amount of times they'll listen to me ramble on.

*takes out one of the tear gas grenades, throwing it around the colonel, making the tramplers go around him* Ha, another one saved ^^;;

Okay I should have put that it creates the least amount of reaction. But yes I contradicted myself, silly old me.

I'm just miffed that it changed. I liked it the way it was.

Customisable CSS is the solution that would suit everyone but that will take ages.

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please change it back.

Hey, the guys were right. (Dang I lost ten bucks) You make a huge change and then distract them with something small like link color and they will not notice.

















(Hee hee) J/K there are no major changes, well I don't think there are. ha ha ha :twisted:

"Customisable CSS is the solution that would suit everyone but that will take ages."

Customizable CSS yes, but implementing so users can select from some preset Styles wouldn't be too hard -- have a dark on light and light on dark option etc.

It could be done and well maybe in the future it will be. This is good to hear the different feed back though, so please keep telling us what you think would help.
