Good Morning On your computer go to the bottom of the page and click on the little down arrow at the side of Theme. Select 247 dark and see if this addresses your problem. I am set on the Bright Default theme, whilst I find that some of the background colours are a little flat, posts and photographs etc are OK with plenty of contrast. See how it goes.

KWA Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The colours got screwed up after it was mentioned it was difficult to make out the info at the top of the screen.

forcebwithu Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I use the High Contrast extension for Chrome. Works great on the Increase Contrast setting to make the text on a page really stand out. Here's what your post looks like without increased contrast And with it turned on There are two idiosyncrasies with High Contrast that are easily resolved by temporarily turning off the extension. One is some photos with a dark background become too dark to see. Another is a recent issue, and that is YouTube videos don't play correctly when the extension is running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tommy dee Posted October 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2020 Christ ona bike its just a different colour scheme. the old navy, dark blue and similar is swapped for a more trendy light glue, green etc. 🙂 on the new version you moaned that you couldnt read the top header line, and were correct. that colour was used to varying degrees throughout. I simply switched it to a colour that is easy to read with in a pc, tablet and phone if you check a dulux book, and send me the colour code you prefer, we can have a vote on it like married couples, then argue, i will go down the pub, you will go and stay with your mother, the kids will become delinquents, we will divorce as I wll be shagging the bar maid, we will split the proceeds of the house sale, I will move to thailand, .... 🙂 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then upping the font to the next size up may help those that are struggling. Edited October 23, 2020 by boydeste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's set by the default font that Invision includes with the forum software. As happens too often with developers, they can't leave well enough alone and insist on tinkering and "improving" things with every upgrade. Worst case is when the developer thinks they know what is best for the end user, without any end user feedback. For a bit of insight on the "I'm the developer and know what's best" mindset, have a look at the Invision Community topic on Why aren't posts numbered within a thread?. The Chief Software Architect decided post numbering was "just meaningless clutter". So rather than make it a configuration option, or include it under the new three dots "...", he made the decision to remove post numbering in the latest update. That guy must be a real joy to work with. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Woul it be too far out of order to suggest putting the colours back to how they have been for the last two years?
