Title: Regarding the link colours in the DMFA skin...
Post by: tkg on September 12, 2006, 07:18:59 PM
I hope I got this in the right place.

I was wondering - is it just my monitor, or is the colour used for hyperlinks in the DMFA skin nearly undistinguishable from the regular text colour? The way it is now, I have to run the mouse pointer through parts of a text just to see if there's a hidden link in there somewhere :)

Perhaps we could adopt the link colour that is used on the DMFA forum at the Nice (#888005)? That was much more pleasing to the eye, IMHO.

The DMFA nice forum will go bye bye. (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?topic=1037.0)

I'm guessing the Nice fourms are nuked?

I've noticed that problem with linked text too. It's not so much of a problem as much as an annoyance. A lighter purple (so long as it's not invisible behind the purple background) would be much appreciated, but the current color scheme works well enough for me.

Or a darker purple.


..Darker is always better.

I never noticed that, mostly since I use Inverted Dungeon.

I use the DMFA theme and the links look good to me.

If you're having link trouble, just underline them (http://www.nositeinparticular.w/e).

Hmmm, it might very well just be my monitor causing it then - it's starting to get a bit old after all. I uploaded a couple of cropped screenshots of how it looks like here (http://www.home.no/t-k-g/temp/linkexample1.png) and here (http://www.home.no/t-k-g/temp/linkexample2.png) (with apologies to Rowne and Tapewolf, respectively ;)). They were taken in Opera, although it could just as well have been IE, as it looks exactly the same there. I can hardly make out any difference between the links and the regular text in these examples at all (which is especially true for the second one)... time to get a new monitor, perhaps? :P

Good idea - I think I'll start doing it from now on.
