Actually I've already gotten used to this white thing but I still think the orange was better. Orange on green got some balls, it's the Cantr thing seen no where else (exept on my charrie description page but that is Cantr-related and -inspired.)

so, tiredness, deterioration, everything else ever changed stays unchanged with a majority of around 450 players vs 25? :wink:

What I mean is, I don't see many trying to suggest something better. I hate the "if it aint broke don't fix it" attitude. My attitude is "if it aint broke, great - now lets make it even better!"


If it ain't broken, don't make it worse!

make char names orange, and building names grey. But the white is really getting into my eyes! I rather have orange anytime!

Oh, man... :shock:
It's so not surveyable :?
Please don't let us wait one whole week!
If you look at the results, almost everyone who has voted wants the old-fashioned orange colour. So PLEASE return it :cry:

Thanks :wink:

This has got to be one of the most participated in polls of Cantr history.

No one can expect to get it right first time.

And because of this, now we have custom CSS choices to look forward to. Now if we left it as it was that wouldn't be on the agenda at all. So I think we have gained despite the change being unpopular.

We haven't gained yet, Sol. It's still bold white. :wink:

This is not a suggestion to change game play or add a new resource or create a new tool or require fish to be cleaned before cooked... this is about looks, user-friendlyness, ease of use/interaction. I have gotten used to people being orange. when I look over the events, peoples words and actions are highlighted and brought to my attention because they stand out. White bold does not stand out. I was against when the dynamic naming made buildings and roads orange too, because that caught my attention and was red flagged as a person.

This is not whining, this is not saying I can not live with the change, this is not insulting Jos, this is merely saying that the game interface has now changed and I prefer it the old way.

How could I vote against the Cantr format I've been using for over 3 years?

I don't really care, but I like the bold white I guess. The orange was almost insulting. Don't ask me why. I voted for Bold White out of pitty.

On a side note... notice how Jos used the correct, Canadian spelling of colour? :D
