KatAnubis,
The old color scheme is still available. This new one is just an option. Down at the bottom of the page you'll see a drop-down box that says MTS2 Blue. Change that to the MTS2 Grey option, and you'll get the old colors back.

This is really great, the grey was always a bit hard to read. Thank you! ((HUGS))

while it kind of subtle, it's definitely an improvement. my only complaint are the link colors. they are still the same as text. see look

Yes, I know...that was done intentionally.

I like the new colour. Reminds me of shaved ice. Yay, variety! ^_^

I was off on my mini holiday until today and only just peeked in. I love the color/colour. Great idea. It brightens up the site and a little change is good once in awhile.

I changed it in the master...it'll be changed on the actual forum whenever Delphy re-appears or another admin decides they want to upload the changes.

Final period by the way...took me all of 5 seconds...too obvious. :P

I'm still adjusting to the color scheme, but the improved text contrast is a win with me.

I like the blue scheme...very bright, will make it much easier when im up late searching through the site...but I think the text color and link colors need a little change...theres just way too much blue...maybe black or dark gray?

When the master file gets uploaded, the text will change. Links will remain dark blue and standard post text will be black.

Well, once I realised my monitor hadn't messed-up, I was really pleased with it. Definitely a great improvement.

And that's the reason I'll not be using it - I need to see which threads I've already clicked on. There's a reason I've set my browser setting to not expire visited links for 9999 days, and I really dislike it when layouts override the "have visited links be different colors" setting.

But thank you for keeping the old color scheme around.

The main post text has been changed to black *points at this thread :P*. Didn't change the link colors...I will...probably in a few seconds.
