Let's see--now where did I leave my sunglasses? Ouch! Please have mercy on those of us with older eyes...The black was hard, but this color is painful...I like the idea of black type on ecru.
The problem with this, for me, isn't that the letters can't be read against the background, but that now the majority of the window is filled with empty blue space that just glares at me. The posts themselves form a narrow column in the middle, and the left and right are just vast expanses of a very loud periwinkle.
I can't focus on what's in the middle. And I don't want to resize my window to see only what's in the middle.
No. With that background, different text color is necessary or change the background and keep the text that color.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Black text on blue outline is hard to read. Old version was much easier on my eyes.
ReplyDeleteEither black on white, or black on ecru (like John Sanidopoulos's website) is best for the eyes, and seems to work on most browsers.
ReplyDeleteI like it. I think it's easier on the eyes.

ReplyDeleteWell, it was a nice try... could you tone down the blue a bit, maybe? But it does sort of glare at one from the screen. Sorry...
ReplyDeletetoo blue hard on aging eyes
ReplyDeleteI do like that I can read posts in Google Reader now.
ReplyDeleteYech!
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely shade of blue, mellow and soothing, and close to periwinkle, a favourite of mine. First class, John!
