Sorry, folks. I wish I could make all of you happy all of the time but it isn't ever going to happen.
For those of you with short memories or are new to PPRuNe since 1st January, these are the original colours of PPRuNe and until I decide on a new 'corporate' colour scheme, they're staying. The previous colours were the 'default' that comes with the software and whilst rather muted and plain, are very common and indistinct.
I think they're supposed to be a mix of Royal Blue with Gold. For highlighting in a subtle way I've also got a kind of Cadbury's purple to contrast with the 'gold'.
The only real change is the typeface used for the logo. You will still see the odd PPRuNe logo with the 'Stop' typeface but the new one is a bit more up to date.
Eventually, I'll have a second colour scheme for those of you with a nervous disposition so that you are not so jarringly spooked when you log on to PPRuNe in the future.

My vote goes for this version! It's a sad fact of life that you can't please all of the people all of the time. So, at the end of the day, it's Danny's site and we should just accept and respect HIS choice.

Is the faint diagnonal line that runs from the top left hand corner to the bottom right hand corner of the new PPRuNe logo supposed to be there, or am I seeing things? (This is not a sarcastic question - I honestly don't trust my boggle-eyes.)
As for the colours - it's better than the generic one, although the "gold" looks more like yellow-orange on my screen. I'm not complaining anyway.

Oh boy, forgive me for this people but
I can't believe the whinging about the colour, who really gives a monkey... if you can read the posts then what's the matter, or are you all so sad that this is all you can contribute!!!
Don't worry I'm burn proof, I've seen all of Danny's colour schemes and I could still read all the contributions.

Too mean to buy a long personal title
