completed Higher contrast option for Forum

[Joeguy 941]

The new forum colors and lack of contrast make reading difficult and generate unhealthy eye strain.  I understand that Tanki wants everything uniform throughout the game and they feel this current color scheme is a good modern look (it's not in my opinion...looks old and faded to me...battleship gray, yuck...it's just so, well, ...gray).

Since Tanki probably won't fix what they have spent much time to create, maybe Tanki could develop an option to change color schemes...at the very least, an option to change the color scheme in the Forum where so much time is spent reading.

The alternate color scheme should be of higher contrast with any color combination.  The previous Forum color scheme was easy on the eyes and easy to read...and those colors are still hanging around in the code somewhere.  They might be a good choice if Tanki were to develop and implement a color scheme option since thoses particular colors are already tried and true. 

An option to change color schemes at the users discretion would be a tremendous help.

 

The contrast issue has been corrected with the last update...thanks Tanki   

 

Thanks for the pic Knafo

Ha!  It turns out that this idea was anticipated by Tanki already...or perhaps they just snuck it in in the last restart...who knows. 

Anyway, poster "Twice" just let me know that there is in fact a lovely option to change the forum back to it's original theme colors and even style!!!  It's located at the bottom of the page on the right. Or in the middle of the page at the bottom if you are in the original forum mode and wish to change to the new insipid gray mode (why?).

 

Thanks again Twice!
