I am having a problem with Color, and lack of contrast.

RPLS feature request

First, I hate the ORANGE, personal taste I guess.
The lack of contrast hurts my eyes, I need to squint to read the text (too small BTW). Medium grey on a light grey background does not cut it for me. Maybe others prefer it, don't know. Are there User settings somewhere?
Thanks.

The text size you can fix with CTRL+ and CTRL-. In Windows you can, anyway.

Your screenshot looks a little more washed out than what posts look like on my screen, but I agree, the pages could use a little more contrast and slightly larger font.

I, too, would prefer a higher contrast.?ÿ

I'm pretty well used to the colors, and the font size is ok, especially with the Ctrl+/- ability (or ctrl mouse wheel).

Low contrast is a plague that has affected almost every piece of software and many web sites these days.?ÿ One of the most annoying is that I can't find the search box on Google without squinting.?ÿ I keep trying to click and type in the wrong spot.

did the text size change in the last 10 hours? seems bigger at the moment

I was hoping Wendell could find a way for users to set some preferences.

I was reading instructions to change text size in Ubuntu and it lost me rather fast with the mention of Gnomes and such.

Basic orange is a wonderful color.

I think universal is hold down the control button and roll the wheel on your mouse... not sure about Ubuntu
I was getting different results this morning, I swear it.

The bright orange still hurts my eyes.

I haven't made any style changes for weeks, until just about 5 minutes ago. I darkened the text a bit and added a divider line to the top of each reply to give it a little more differentiation.

Font size seems a bit pointless since that can be adjusted in the browser -- as soon as I make the text a little bigger, someone will whine that it's too big and creates too much white space and (oh no!) they'd have to scroll a little more. The current font size is 15px for standard post content, which is probably about normal, might even be a tad bigger than what I would consider as "standard" for most websites. Again, however, text size is a user-controllable setting in the browser.
