Am I the only one who feels these forums are too dark/hard to read/dislike it?
Probably not, but that doesn't really matter since you can change the layout if you want to, anyway. I prefer the dark feel, since this is a Diablo site.
Incase you missed it, this is what Jetrall said about the new design:

Okay. I don't have time to read all of these pages (sheeeeit!) but I will respond to some and offer some more news from the Design Front....
First off, I have to offer Atrumentis a HUGE hand for his superb help in working on the redesign. I am a little disappointed that certain things were either missed by Umaro when transferring in the new design, or we didn't have time to do properly (namely the buttons - missed, and the banner - needs to be completed).
Secondly, I'd like to point out that, as was mentioned earlier, this is only a temporary layout. There will be a COMPLETELY NEW redesign coming down the road created by myself and Atru.
The current banner design is temporary and not created by myself. There is another better one coming.
This banner is temporary and I myself did not add the "Fans". Not sure who did.
If anyone has any other questions about the new layout or the upcoming redesign, please direct them to me and/or Atrumentis. Any graphics queries / complaints should go to me specifically and any coding complaints (navbar sizes etc) should go to Umaro.
<3 all
PS: This is only the first step in a magnificent flight. What will WWI bring us?
We both spent a lot of time on the new design over the past two weeks (including coding - which Jetrall did and probably takes the longest). Pretty much everything you see is original artwork created by us. Well, when the new banner and buttons are implemented, then it will be everything you see. I know, its hard for you to see what we did exactly, but try and imagine. We had a lot of cool conceptual ideas at the beginning too, but they didn't quite fit. So I guess we will be using those ideas for the next design-overhaul when it comes. Or something.
And come on, have any of you been to the Starcrafttwo forums? Its black and green. I hated it at first too, but after a while I got used to it. You will get used to this one soon enough, you just have to try. Its like playing a new game, the controls are always weird but you get used to them, don't stop playing just because of it.
Seriously, I am completely comfortable using this new design because I've seen it for like a week now. You'll get used to it.
Jetrall is fixing the buttons and banner now. Ohh, he just fixed the buttons then. nice.
Sorry for the harsh letters, but this is a huge improvement over the old "speedvision". It is darker, has a kickass banner that fits with the darkness, it feels more Diablo-ish, and it is called Carbon Fibre 2.0! What's not to like?
True, the font size is just a tad too small, but I'm already getting used to it. I'm sure you all will too. But if you really want to, you can change the size of the font if you want. Like this.
Edit: I hit post, and looked at it on the page, and I decided I am already used to the font size. So that would be ZERO complaints here.
Oh, and when I changed the size, and came to edit, it had stayed on the larger size, so that might help some of you who don't like the size.
Please Jetrall, don't change this theme ONE bit unless it's copying stuff over and fixing stuff, but the font is great the colors are great, except the outlining on the smiley's and other icons need to be fixed

Yeah the new look bothered the hell out of me. Had to go back to speedvision. It just didnt seem right. The small font too? Couldnt deal. Speed vision feels much better
Agreed. With it all really black, the contrast of the white field against the black background kind of strains me eyes.
White field? You mean, beige text? Well whatever you mean, I find the whole layout completely natura. Hopefully if you give it a chance you will get used to it. But if you're still not used to it after about a week, then I'll understand. But you have to actually give it a chance in the first place.

Yea me too, especially because it blends with my new sig.

It's true that I don't like change very much. But what I meant was the field as in the area where you type in your post. I can stare at it when the background colors in speedvision are there because the two colors don't contrast as sharply.
Strange, because its black for me. Both the quick reply and advanced reply boxes are black fields as I see them. However, they flash white when I first load the page, maybe it isn't loading properly for you?

Was it a dream I had? I'm certain I said this for a reason. Maybe it's even just the white box around the black field that's bothering me. Or cause I'm running on three hours of sleep? I want my mommy!

Well I'm not that good with programming, but I experienced the same thing at first, but not anymore. I guess it's the same thing as weh nthe new banner came up, you had to clear your cache for it to show up.
