It doesn't hurt me as much as the yellow "skin" you had before. I like it much better, because it doesn't hurt the eyes anymore. It's more eye-friendly, imho.
However, the head of the person of the background is almost never really shown. ;D

The thread navigation bar is hardly visible, much less legible...
What use is a background picture, that you don't see fully anyway, when in the threads/posts.
The change is purely cosmetic and not an improvement in functionality. As with all cosmetics, it's a matter of taste. It's not to mine.

I blame this on lack of sleep: I agree with Peter. On every single point . Übereil

Definetly an improvement over the other background. Still not sure on the figures but it is much better on the eyes colorwise. Still the thread navigation is hardly visible. It's a lighter red/orange up against a darker red/black. Migt be an idea to change the color a bit. And it's impossible to read the black navigation where it says "post message". I have to go now, unfortunatly, so I'll have to take a better look at this later. But you are on the right way here, El ol' chap

The color clashes. You need to find colors the mesh well with the red and black background.
I like the new background thou.

I do not like the chaos symbol as the background. It may just be me but it seems a little Nazish. Also the tiling is a little distracting. But ultimately it's your board so I just changed it back to the default.

Request, Can you make the Reply, New Thread, etc… fonts bigger or bolder? Also can you make the post reply buttons a different shade so they don’t blend so much with the background? Being color blind is hell.

I like the background don\'t really see anything remotely Nazi about it.

I can't affect the font sizes, Tsel, unfortunately. They are buttons, and without someone creating new buttons there's nothing I can do about them. Not sure I can replace them anyway, but I think I can... Which colour exactly is the one giving you the problems? Peter - thread navigation are links, which means changing the link colours. The black at the end is because that counts as normal text, and changing that will change the text colour throughout. So that's likely to remain unreadable as you guys tend to object to a white or other very bright background. The link colours I may yet change. SPS - yeah, it's just you. Sorry

How does that work for the link colours, people? Better? Worse?

I'll make due then. If one change affects the whole, I wouldn't want that. I'll feel my way through. I'll adapt and overcome.

If it's that big a problem for you, Tsel, I'll change it. I don't want anyone put off the forum because it's not colour blind friendly, any more than I would wish to discriminate against any other member of the board, current or future.

At the top of this thread on the left, the “reply, send topic to friend, print” fonts would be easier to see if they were bolder. The color White is fine, but with a monitor resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher, it starts getting sort of tiny. Also, the color used in the “The Chaos Cascade :: World Of Chaos :: General Board :: New Colour Scheme...” Is a shade of blue, but once clicked the different shade makes the words totally invisible to me unless I highlight it. It’s really no big deal and I can adapt and overcome easy enough.

I cannot do anything about font size - which is unfortunate, I agree. Not having great eyes myself I wouldn't mind some of those larger.
I could try making the link colours much lighter, but if you really don't have a problem with it as it is, I'll leave it for now. That way plenty more people will get the chance to tell me how much they hate it ;D
***
As far as background images are concerned, everyone - I like this one. Find me one I like more, and I'll change it of course. I like having a background far better than just a single colour, which seems kinda boring.
