I don't care for the green at all. I went back to "default". (but not before I nearly ended up deleting my forum account)
Edited to add...but I certainly appreciate the options available to us. (realized that my original post made me sound a tad spoiled or not appreciative.) LOL not spoiled at all - I'm still using the default myself  I've got the teal and gray going on and I love it. I'd REALLY love a pink themed choice! I <3 Pink! I added a pink theme from the pre-sets. Be warned, it's fairly eye-searing! Too many to quote ( gar LavenderLayoutLady moodyblue Sassy Sabrina SWZ Linda Jili lumo KikiPea) but for those struggling with the white on green I've also added a Pea Green v2, which has - much paler green background on alternate posts - black text on all posts - links a different colour to standard text (changed that on v1 too) - less 'acidic' forum background color |

Another purple one here. I found the green overwhelming and hard to read. The purple is like the default setting with purple accents.

I like the High Contrast, it's black. And the 2nd green option is nice too.

The pea green was way too hard for me to read. I was getting ready to switch back to default, when I found this thread and changed to Green v2 - much better!

I kind of like the Pea v2. Didn't realize we could pick a color scheme that we found easy to read. Nice!

'Cos that was my way of telling you all about this new feature  ETA that's a point, red announcements won't stand out for anyone using the red theme, hmmm what to do! LOL |

Yeah, I only skimmed parts of it, missed the part about theme colors as well. Hanging my head in shame.
However, just so you know, I don't read instructions either, then wonder why I either have 786 screws left or the darn thing I'm assembling falls apart.

LOL I have to get your attention somehow! This way I know everyone should see it, unlike a post that could get buried or be on a board someone doesn't visit. I figured no-one could fail to notice crazy bright red, but apparently even that assumption was wrong hehe |

I liked the first green option a lot it seemed like the right color for us but it hurt my eyes so I switched to purple. I switched to the new green now and it seems like it's a lot better than the other green. I'm going to have to try the pink out tomorrow.

If the first green hurt your eyes, I'm pretty sure the pink will too. You'd have to be pretty committed to PINK to use it to be honest! |

I tried it for a bit but it hurt my eyes so I switched back to the default. Maybe I'll give the other colors a try. Thanks Admin for giving us options  |

I kind of like the first one on the list...the aqua or whatever? where everything is dark with the teal highlights?
Not only did it change the colors but it slightly changed the layout as well.

The first green I tried yesterday was too lime green for my eyes. This toned down version is better. I liked the teal, but the text color of the posts was weird. I'll stick with the v2 green for a bit and see if it grows on me.  |

I just switched to new green, I decided I like it! I like how the posts are alternate colors and quotes too. Much easier to read.

I tried them all yesterday too. Green isn't my favorite color, so I tried the all blue for awhile. It was easier on my old eyes - not as glary as the white background - but the yellow text was a little too challenging, so I went back to the default. Today I'm trying the purple and it's better on my eyes than the bright blue, so maybe I'll stick with it for awhile. And again, thanks much admin, for all you do to make our 'home' a better place to be!  |
