Title: New Look
Post by: Myke on May 15, 2005, 02:53:56 AM
I'm liking the new look of the Game Lobbys
Better than the plain white n whatever other white-type color it was
very nice 8)

I prefer the old one, this one's a bit dark (although my monitor is messed up and it DOES make everything look 30% darker), but it has a more Cyber Battles feel to it I guess.

I'm not decided whether I keep this one.

BTW, somebody complained, that it is for some reason hard/impossible to read chat text. Anybody has this problem? Is it because of too big (or too small) monitor? Is it hard to read on CRT monitors?
I have 3 years old 15 inch flat TFT monitor, and everything is perfectly readable for me.

not on my computer, but suggestion:
Black background, neon green text  8)

I could use some bigger font, but:
- I would have to make the screen bigger a bit
- making the screen bigger could noticeably decrease performace for people with slower computers (I mean 400 Mhz or less)

???  you're not making it easier. I guess I'll at least make it a little bit brighter, perhaps it will look ok also on your CRT.

<edit>
actually, right now I tried it on the computer at work - it looks quite dark here. I will definitely make it a bit brighter in next version

Much better.  I can see the sectioned-off bits now, no problems anymore. :)

Great suggestion, whoever you are.
