We should have multiple colour schemes, this dark blue/beige(?) mix is kind of sore on the eyes. >.<;

While this color scheme is probably one of my favorites ever for a forum, and prefer it to the old one, it is a problem. One reason is brightly lit offices such as mine. Because the background is so dark, and my workplace office is so bright with overhead fluorescent lighting, I get some pretty extreme glare. It almost acts as a mirror and is causing strain on my eyes and giving me a slight headache after only 15-20 minutes of use. There's a reason most work-related websites are light-colored. And my screen brightness is maxed.

Riot, please offer an option for a lighter color scheme. This scheme is great for home and such, but not so much for at work, outdoors, or rooms with a lot of windows/sunlight.

Thanks.

Just let your eyes get used to it! I don't have that problem! Seems like a personal problem to me! Change your monitor brightness, bro! Maybe you should have your eyes examined! - Almost every CB'er pre-Boards. Just sayan.

Honestly, do try and see if your eyes adapt to it. I know that isn't ideal, but if you do get used to it, then problem solved, no?

If that doesn't work, then I would suggest ensuring you are well hydrated. Dumb, I know, but you would be surprised how often that helps some people.

If those two fail, might I ask what color scheme do YOU think would be best for EVERYONE? After all, this color scheme came after the feedback of the old CB, which was that generally it was too bright. I like this color scheme, but I get not everyone has the same eyes. So outside of going back, what colors do you want to see together? If you are skilled enough, please do a mockup, so we all may get an idea of what you are looking for. If not, I understand, but please do share some ideas on what colors you feel should go where.
