More Imaginative Color Scheme for Topic Borders

[greenphantom]

Eyes are getting fuzzy from luminescence orange glare
in contrast to the black borders of Dharma Wheel http://www.dharmawheel.net
suggest that this forum setup after an afterthought or
fallout of splinter faction from Esangha

PS This Forum needs a better color scheme for Topic Borders
through use of light pastel shades instead screaming red for admin fonts

Smilies also kind of distract and detractfrom the flow of discussion and
best done in black and white instead of yellow

The text and background for the text includes black, white, and blue. The frames and header include red, yellow, and orange, thus, the five colors of the Buddhist flag; the colors that emanated from the Buddha after enlightenment (Vinaya I. 25).

At other forums where the colors are more black and white and gray, people complain that it is not colorful enough, so matter what colors are used, there will always be some who will have different tastes. Thus, we go with the colorful scheme of the Buddhist colors.

I think Dharmawheel was setup with that color scheme so as to Imitate the "Grey Forum"

No ?

The yellow/orange is a rather obvious choice for a Theravada site:

I don't come here to feed a desire for sensory stimulation. The present colors serve their purpose which is to differentiate blocks of information.

I agree. I wasn't suggesting anyone change it, I was just pointing out that it has obvious colours in reply to comments about it trying to look like other sites.

Multiple optional color themes might be nice, if possible.

I really like the color scheme here and wish they would copy it on Dharma Wheel. The main reason I don't go there is because it looks so grey and depressing.

Our eyes might see the colour, but our mind sees the like and the dislike.

You mean it's really all the same to you?

[BlackBird]

So long as it functions, it's fine
(in my very viewy view)

This is a very peculiar conversation!

Most conversations are.

Most conversations are.

So if one participates in this conversation, does one become peculiar by association?

We are all innately peculiar and all conversations reflect this, though most participants aren't aware of this innate peculiarity and blunder along imagining great substance and value in the form of conversation. Practice, grasshopper - then you will become aware of and consciously manifest innate peculiarity!

Goodness, what a peculiar thing to say.
