I've got the blues

Grainger · 17th Nov 2001, 22:01

Well, I woke up this morning....

.... and I found my PPRuNe screen gone blue, man

Anyone else going cross eyed with the new colour scheme ?

sweety · 17th Nov 2001, 22:26

Oh, YES!!!!!!!!!!!

HugMonster · 17th Nov 2001, 23:13

Don't like it. Sorry, Danny!

You can't tell the difference between threads you've read and ones you haven't.

PaperTiger · 17th Nov 2001, 23:31

Yeah, blue on grey is a definite no-no. The eye of the Tiger just can't cope.
86 it please.

AA SLF · 18th Nov 2001, 08:03

Did PPRuNe Towers suddenly adopt United Airlines (blue & gray)?

If in need of a new color scheme how about blue, red and aluminum???

Strongly agree with Huggie, can't tell what threads you have already read. You know, memory is the second thing that goes with "advancing years".

Ah good. I thought it was just something wrong with my computer.

Please return the old colour scheme. I promise I'll think about purchasing a personalised title if it'll help!!!

OzExpat · 18th Nov 2001, 12:30

If the changed colour scheme has had anything to do with the increased speed I'm seeing here, I vote to keep it like this! Yeah, I've had to go thru and recheck all the forums and threads I've been following, but even THAT took very little time for me, in this part of the world!

I don't actually care what the colour scheme is, if it improves server response times. Time will tell the truth or fallacy of this assumption, of course...

Feeton Terrafirma · 18th Nov 2001, 12:55

Oz mate, you actually follow threads? Maybe thats where I've been going wrong all these years.

As for the new colours scheme

I think I need some

new glasses

Techchick · 18th Nov 2001, 13:11

Cant see why youre all moaning.
must be getting old.

Leave Danny alone, he's gorgeous.

TowerDog · 18th Nov 2001, 13:34

This new stuff appears almost pink on meh screen.

(Is that not your favorite color Mr. Draper?)

1 vote for the old color job.

tony draper · 18th Nov 2001, 14:03

Get yourself a 20 inch Mitsubishi Diamond Pro Mr Tower, everything looks peachy on mine.
Besides its more or less the same colour I have my desktop.
Greatminds think alike.
PS, I can also output my graphics to a 32 inch wide screen Sony Wega, but thats a bit to far away for Draper to read the little writing now, great for Duke Nukem though.

Gash Handlin · 18th Nov 2001, 16:47

you never cease to amaze me Mr D.

TowerDog · 18th Nov 2001, 19:31

Aye Mrt. Draper, in this case yours is indeed bigger than mine.

I got a 17" Sony Trinitron. Very happy with the machine, but in general try to avoid anything Japanese.

Peachy? Well perhaps so.

Any word from The Danny about this change in
colors?

tony draper · 18th Nov 2001, 20:25

I would agree with you Mr T but it is difficult to avoid Japanese goods in the consumer electronics world,we stopped making stuff here years ago,
Hell they're ony letting us make the ash trays and the nob for the windscreen wiper for the Eurofighter here, so we have to buy foreign stuff now.

brockenspectre · 18th Nov 2001, 20:44

I love the new speed and...the grey/grey/black/white site is FINE with me!!

Grainger · 18th Nov 2001, 20:49

I hear Danny got seriously ill last Sunday so perhaps that explains the new muted colour scheme...

brockenspectre · 18th Nov 2001, 20:52

It has just occurred to me that...I suspect the colours we are seeing on PPRuNe now are dependent on the windows settings we have established for frames etc ....via Start - Settings - Control Panel - Display - Appearance

tony draper · 18th Nov 2001, 20:59

You could be right it looks exactly the same as my desk top,I am running win2k, the display setting says appearance windows standard,not sure if thats true, that used to be that horrible deep blue colour.
Unless its different on 2k.
PPRuNe looks just fine to me, and it does seem to be running faster.

HugMonster · 19th Nov 2001, 00:58

Nahhhh - it's nothing like my windows settings. Anyway, if you check the source code for the page, the colours are in there...

<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" text="#003366" link="#336699" vlink="#000066" alink = "#006699" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" >

flapsforty · 19th Nov 2001, 01:45

What's in a colour?

Ok so it's disconcertingly similar to the comp website and I never did like navy blue, but what does it matter?
Not one iota as far as I'm concerned.
To paraphrase Conrad Hilton:
Speed, Speed, Speed

.........seems to remember once seeing an ancient PPRuNe page in pink & purple.............what a glorious sight it was..............and how the masses would howl if same were instituted now.........
