What Colour is best?

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Which colour would be the best background for the HTML version of the stats (Here (http://woo.gotdns.com:8080))

The other colours will be chosen based on Background colours...

I'd be interested in seeing the dark blue, as I prefer dark backgrounds, ( XPC in Emerge theme ), easier on the eye under artificial light, ( and Mick already said he doesn't like black :p )

I am for taht too CB.. so you got another dark blue vote :)

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Dark blue is up, is that too dark of a blue?

Makes the rest of the colours easier to pick...

[Gouki]

Dark blue looks good...

[PresterJohn]

dark blue, also. :)

[Twinkletoes]

Well I've never seen dark-blue paper.

My thumbs are up for dark blue, only thing is, its kinda blurry...


Not your fault though - I just broke the frames of my glasses. I have to find some solder so I can solder it back together... Now I'm going to have to come up with around 300 because I'll have to get all new frames and lenses. I would only have to get the frames but they are discontinued and the lenses were specially made. :(

[davidw]

No, not after that stunt you pulled with muriatic acid.

[Synplicity]

Dark blue vote from me..

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Ok, seems dark blue it is...

Time to hardcode some defaults (well, maybe tomorrow, time for bed now :D)

made a couple other small modifications to the page, it looks a bit cleaner now (apparently in IE aswell :)

[Cowboybooter]

Dark blue looks real good, WoZ!:)

TT, you've never seen dark blue paper?

I always thought the telegram from the Queen was on.........oh, never mind!

:D:D

My company gave out dark blue paper note pads with silver liquid pens for promotional purposes. It looks something like the theme here when you write on it.

[Win2Kuser]

Just looked, if that is the dark blue you are on about, it seems just a touch too dark imo.

Maybe a shade (or two) lighter?

Other than that, looks good :D

I normally prefer lighter backgrounds especially here, but that colour scheme makes it look classy :)

Not sure about the orange milestones though... might be just me?

Unless of course the idea of the stats page is promotion. I thought it was for day-to-day reading of important info. 'Sides which I guess you didn't have to read what the lucky recipients wrote on their notepads.

See, there's still a bit of fight left in the Old Dawg !

Er...when are you having the next promotion ? Do you have my postal address ?

<Returns grumpily to adjusting monitor settings and looking for local optician's emergency number...And to wondering why the Dell and NVidia Support departments don't work on Good Friday ???>

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Ok, just for tt I lightened it up a hair, I don't want to go much lighter since it'ld bleach all the colour out of everything...

[mickwish]

That's not bad, WoO. :cool: I don't like really dark backgrounds (and I'm not even as old as TT! :p ), but the text in all colours is quite legible. :)

Good job! :D

Cheers

now that the question of color is settled... :)

seems to me, the daily numbers should be kept together just like we have with w2k's version......ie. the columns for # of jobs, # of hits, and new points for the day should be kept together.

the way the sample page looks now, your eye must traverse many more columns to extrapolate that data visually.

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

That could be done on the vbulliten version, but on the html version erasing lines of a grid could be quite annoying and merging the cells could be difficult to make consistant..

Am I the only one who is smart enough to NEVER look at the HITS (or jobs) column on a DAILY basis ?
