Changing page style?

[MTL_4runner]

Maybe I'm out to lunch, but is there a way to change the look of the page the way you could down at the bottom like on other boards?
Like some sort of pulldown menu or something similar?

I ask because the red on dark gray is a bit hard to read vs just good old black/white.

This site is quite a bit more complex on the back end than a simple vB forum. While it would not be impossible to add a feature such as this, it would be a ton of work.

The colors were chosen as a differentiator from other forums (ie blue=yt, green-pirate). We've already made some alterations to the background colors that vastly improved the contrast with the red vs dark grey. After the last alteration we were calling it good.

My monitor is nice and bright, so I don't perceive a problem with the colors as they are currently.

Ok, just curious....that solves that.

I'm not ruling it out as a future possibility at all, but just wanted you to know how we got to where we are. But one thing is for sure, we don't want to be known as Yotatech II or anything like that...

times a billion. no need for white/black, but right now it's not instantly readable.

not everyone will be on a nice bright screen.

cebby, you can add in more themes then allow members to select their own.

i personally shyed away from it because its hard to control what looks good and where.

i didn't like the red at first, but to be honest, it's really grown on me and now i really do dig it.

I know that I can... I don't wanna. I have double the work since the SMF and Joomla use some different files - 2 sets of CSS, 2 sets of images, blah, blah, blah.

I'll play with the colors a little more as time allows.

I found it helped alot to bump up the font to max size in the upper right corner. The small font and the dark colors were just very hard to read, esp on my laptop which doesn't have the brightest of screens.
