Trying out Stylish to create a brighter color scheme

It's not perfect, but I was curious what people thought of the boards beta if it was light colors instead of dark.

It's nice if you want a light color scheme, but it's night right now for me, and OW (my eyes)

The searing white is a bit too much, but light gray would work perfectly in that scenario.

Anything is better than the current forum which looks like a green version of Honeycomb.

I prefer the dark scheme, personally. It's much easier on the eyes and actually has higher contrast than white on black.

That being said, a parchment theme could potentially work. RuneScape used to do something similar, where it was essentially a very light tan color (similar to the text color on the Boards) as the background with dark text.

It's just more of a personal touch since I have a hard time reading the new color scheme. I've been working hard getting all the little quirks out of the way since I don't really know CSS, but it's looking pretty decent now (for me at least). I think it looks quite nice, but I wish Riot just kinda had this option in the first place because it's a lot of work! I'm certainly no web designer, so complimenting colors are an enigma to me.

That is EXACTLY the kind of option I would like to see. You could make it even more like the original boards and change the links to green/teal rather than black.

That sounds cool, trouble is that I don't really know CSS. I scrapped it for now since I made too many bad changes, but I might go back to it someday. Just gonna have to suffer for now.
