SHOUTBAWX Background color, suggest it here

[KuRIoS]

As most of you know, we will be switching to the OwnedCore theme soon and the other themes will be removed. However the shoutbawx background color is causing a bit of difficulty and annoyance of the members that use it.
Therefore this thread is a possibility for you to have a say on what background color it should be.

Example: I think the background should be all black, as in the color code 000000 as that will make it look good and most fontcolors be readable. IF POSSIBLE, try to give an example of various fonts on a black background as well (If your color was black)

ANY WHINING ABOUT THE NEW SKIN OR THE REMOVAL OF THE OLD SKINS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN THIS THREAD.

color code 000000 all black and color code 696969 would work fine with me. Just anything that is not as bright as now and with color code 696969 you are a bit darker then now and not all black. Makes pretty much almost fonts readable included Apoc his name

Not whining here, but why are the old themes being removed?

[Cecu]

The simpliest color is always the best - Black or White

[Narudan]

Well if you are not going to change the light grey of the theme, black or a very dark grey (#080808 ) would be the best solution. However, I don't find that very appealing.
Edit: Oh, maybe some black to dark grey gradient if that's possible.

Why isn't whining tolerated?

[Harambeqt]

Dark gray * my vote.

[Remus3]

1) the old skins are being removed due to the upkeep (custom changes etc far extending beyond durr hurr things) is just too much each and every patch for more than 1 theme. It's been tried already.

2)Whining isn't tolerated because that is derailment of the thread, do you want someone complaining about how this isn't right and they want more options of themes to choose pink unicorn hufflepuff twilight theme, when we are talking about the sbawx background color? no.

3) Dark grey imo, but not as dark as the above suggested(low quality images but still 2 hex values is shite to even notice; a happy darkmedium between now and the black= 222222(my pick) ,333333, 454545


-------------------------------
The font colors are darker than they should be in the image- huzzah at doing a 4 minute job. they are also dulled; so a live color will be brighter and less shitty to look at due to the white bordering and faux shadows due to replace color.( repeated myself i know...)

222222 will allow for dark fonts as well as light fonts, in contrast what is in the image is 1a1a1a which is a tinge darker than my suggestion.

Would like a dark color back I got a really bright monitor, makes it kind of hard to read the bawx atm.

I think the background should be all black, as in the color code 000000 as that will make it look good and most fontcolors be readable. IF POSSIBLE, try to give an example of various fonts on a black background as well (If your color was black)

#454545 is too bright imo.
#222222 would be good enough to read the fonts but I'd prefer #0d0d0d (also better than #808080). It's the background grey of ownedcore. Too many shades of grey look weird.

[Jaerin]

So my recommendation is anything darker than gray 15 on this chart Neutrals Hex Color Codes: Hexadecimal codes for named colors used in HTML page features

[Dombo]

Any dark color would be fine, I'd hate to give up my yellow font. (plus a dark background is less strain on my eyes).

[HI5]

well, this was working pretty well so far... #2c2c2c

[Confucius]

#5C5C5C looks good to me, all text colors, except some darker grays, look good on it!

[michael93]

Not whining, just letting you know that with the current white'ish background, you cannot see anything thats written in the Rules windows of the SB without highlighting it. So yeah, a darker color would be nice
