It fits thematically with my new subsite to Cinema Sight: Awards Landscape. Hence the landscape-themed redesign.

Great colour and design. Yes, easier on the eyes too.

Thank you!!

This color scheme is HUGELY better. (The earlier one was so hard to see, I hadn't even been aware of the existence of this thread.)

Thank you.

The light green is easier on the eyes, and I can read old posts without squinting.

It's also nice to have things in the position we're used to seeing them in.

Thank you. This is far more pleasant to look at. I even like the cherry blossoms, even if they don't exactly fit thematically.

There will be no votes. I've changed to a new style with a lighter background color, which should alleviate the issues.

If it can’t be individualized, can we just revert to prosilver? Or take a vote to see what folks prefer?

There is no way that I currently know to assign specific styles to specific individuals. It's all or none. I'm currently trying to find out if there's a way to manually change this while enabling the ability to change to an alternate design. Unfortunately, that is not possible at this time.

Unless I'm missing something, there are 541 users of this style of PHPBB board of which 540 are using the original prosilver version while we are the only one using the new Earth version.

While I am always interested in trying new things, I don't think this one is a good idea. It really hurts my eyes trying to read some of the old entries.

I know everyone's doing the best they can, but I also wish you'd reconsider this new format. It's not just the colors but also the layout. It is so cluttered and noisy, I want to avert my eyes while trying to read.

I don't like the dark background either. It can be put back to look the way it did, and I think it should be.

Not only are the new posts hard on the eyes, but many of the old posts are also faded and very difficult to read.

Yes very jarring. Thought it was the green....but no it's the black background.
