Navy would be nice. Black not so much. Don't think it's the computer.

The colors that you'll actually see will also depend on graphics cards, monitors and graphics settings of each. I have dual monitors, I can drag a window from one monitor to the secondary monitor and there will be a color variation.

However, that said, the template does not use a "safe" color value to take that into consideration. I need to make some technical tweaks and I will add to the list to look at swapping the background shade to windows safe color in hopes that some of you won't get the black anymore. It may take a couple of weeks to get to I'm afraid, there will be images to edit.

As I've already stated, I love the new look.  Here's my question----while recognizing the value of the ads on this forum, is there any way to keep them from flashing and blinking?  I find the flashing, etc. a distraction.

I don't think I saw this anywhere on this thread but I would suggest changing the "link" color (within a post) to bright blue or some other very obvious color.  Right now it appears to be black (or near enough) and the link isn't obvious so takes a minute to find (someone on another thread couldn't find the link at all).

I noticed that as well.  You have to scroll over all the words to find out where it is.  If not a different color, then perhaps an underline?

Excellent point, how annoying that was. I hope it's better now. :)

I was confused when I first saw the new look, but really like it now.  It is much more streamlined.  Thank you!
