We have a new colour scheme & background image. Please post all thoughts, comments & queries in this thread. To answer the one I know I'd otherwise get: the image in the background is Marvel's Illyana Rasputin - 'Magik' - as drawn by the immensely talented Rob Liefield

I change my mind... I don't like the purple, but it isn't a big deal honestly.... But Rob Liefield isn't that talented...

Liked the old one better ... As jang said, the teal is too strong. And remove that backgroundcolour and add some light grey instead! Now! Übereil

I do not like this.
You definetly need to change the background. It's confusing, crowed and distracts the eye. It contains too many elements and a background needs to be neutral and ease the eye.
The background takes away from the red text. How many besides me have trouble reading the inks on top? "World of chaos"; "general board". I almost can't read them. And it's equally bad at the bottom. I know they are there, but imagine the confusion this may create for possible new members.
Please change the background to a single colored one.
I must say I think the color sceme on thread could work. You might want to change the pink color to another one.
But please - change the background to a single neutral color. It'd create a much more harmonic site.

This is so...bright.
Pete's right about the BG. It's too crowded and distracting. Since I'm sure you must like that particular image a lot, I'd recommend to turn it black and white and fade it considerably, to make it seem much less distracting.

Since I'm sure you must like that particular image a lot, I'd recommend to turn it black and white and fade it considerably, to make it seem much less distracting. I'd still go for a single soft color background. No bright colors, imo. If you really DO love this image so much, then try with both a single color one and a faded one as Hector mentioned. Then we can see what we like the most

Definetly prefer the B/W.... but not over a single colored BG - as I mentioned once or twice

I think the B&W matches the banner at the top, though not the new color scheme.

Y'know? Turning this...bright blue into black and the black into red would match the picture with color, and make it so much easy on the eye.

Alternatly How about making the illyana pic a banner or if possible enter the css script and place the pic at the top and have the rest of the background in a neutral color

I really think the Illyana pic will stay, Pete. Get used to it.
