[Feedback] This site needs to have a different color scheme

My main problem with the new site look is that it is painful to look at. I've tried to narrow down why, and the main things I can see causing it are as follows:

  • The cool colors in the background with the bright center content panal is ouch.
  • This gets worse when you scroll a bit and the background turns black.
  • The font has some issues:
  • It's too small
  • It really clashes with the previous problems, as now I am squinting at the most painful part of the page
  • It isn't a legible font. I(i) , l(L) , and 1(one) look exactly the same
  • The content panal is pretty small on my screen, as I run my resolution at 1600x1900 at all times.

So far, this is what I can pick out, and I need a break from typing this. Feel free to share what irritates you about the new site look below, as well as suggest changes to Riot.

P.S. I don't want to run more programs to fix this, so please don't suggest f.lux or anything 3rd party. This site is the only place I encounter this, so that program will not get enough uses to warrant downloading it.

I don't like how the comments and original post are separated. It makes it feel less like a discussion and more like responding to a single post.

For me the only one I think is a problem is the last one. I made a post about the heavy left-oriented design hurting my eyes. As far as the font and color scheme, for me, I like them.

These boards are too dark. The lack of contrast makes it uncomfortable to read. Really, just white background and black fonts. I know that’s boring, but it is the most comfortable. Are there settings to change these default settings?

Edit:

Sorry about the necro. I didn't notice the date -- because its too hard to read, lol.

This is a big problem on the client too. Saying "1 (one) go top" looks exactly the same as "I (i) go top".
