Colored Text

[Dragoy]

Modoru, et al,

I have transferred here from another topic, mostly unchanged.
So very nice to meet you all!

Due to the discussion sparked over there by this post I believe, I felt like posting something about this topic as well!


If you post merely for your own delight, it's of course perfect the way you best like it!

However, if you consider being a part of this community, and actually receive complaints (mainly talking about valid, well mannered ones, not so much about the 'complaining just to complain and/or to be rude' ones), it would be courteous to at least consider if something could be done to enhance their reading experience as well (could think of it as customer service of sorts, from user to another). Just because you can read it fine, doesn't mean everyone else can, obviously, which I'm sure everyone would agree with. ^^;

Surely everything is readable, whatever it is, where ever it is.
The question is, by whom, and where, as well as how?

But yeah, if only thing that matters to you is your personal experience, that is, as they say, that. I just figured I'd share my tiny opinion on that since someone had quite a valid request: “could it be slightly larger in size?”

Personally, the colour Modoru uses is quite pleasant for my eyes, but user experience will vary, just as does eyesight, which might be not so perfect more often than it is. The same font is a little bit too tiny in my opinion as well, but I can still read it OK (though I do sit perhaps relatively close to my display), and don't really care what people do with their text either way!

I don't think there has been any such colour that has been really annoying to me. Not even the clever white ones. I guess I still have better things to do, than to get annoyed not to mention angry about frivolous stuff. \ö/

As also mentioned, one can always override the user-settings if one really wants to do something about it. I, for one, don't mind it, really, and I do agree with Rosina that it can add some amount of personality to a user.

Just a few thoughts on that. I have to say that it was rather funny to see this thread as I had been more or less expecting something like this to happen soon... So if nothing else, at least it made me nearly smile a little.

As a conclusion: Forum features like to be used. I wouldn't be surprised if this one would be the next one to go, though.

Oh and that green on black is surprisingly OK to me.
I imagined it would be quite terrible indeed before I saw the picture. :S


And that is, as they say, a hat.


Edit:

Oh and as for it being the General Discussion forum, one might say that this topic has very little to do with FINAL FANTASY XI itself, as topics here should be, according to the welcome-thread though I guess it can be a little bit open for interpretation, heh. Well, at least it has something to do with the forum. ^^
