This black is not easy on the eyes.

Thanks for your suggestion. I think this is a good idea. However, because of the large number of modifications on the forum, it would take a lot of time to create a light colored skin that would be compatible with our site. Unfortunately, this is probably not going to happen in the near future. Sorry!

You don't think it's easy on the eyes? o.0 Wow...I love dark color, especially when I'm on the computer at night.

I would think a lighter skin would be harder on the eyes. But then they tell me in programming class that lighter backgrounds are easier on the eyes.

Perhaps some of the hardcore website people on here could submit a few skins? Could a list of requirements be made to help with the compatibility issues?

Well, I myself and visually impared, and the white text on the dark background tends to be a lot easier for me to see. But everyone's different I guess...

Just about every board I post at is predominantly white or at least a light color, so it's mainly navigating back and forth between two opposites in terms of color that can cause a bit of a headache.

i find the dark skin easy on the eyes, easy to read things with, and much more appropriate for Harry Potter

Plus it is alot easier at night time because of the lack of major glare.

White text on a dark background is way easy to read and it's easy on the eyes.

My eyes are bleeding as I type.

It's a miracle that I can type at all!
