- teekert 11y agoI always wondered about this one, you hear it a lot: "A little less contrast Black on white? How often do you see that kind of contrast in real life? Tone it down a bit, asshole. I would've even made this site's background a nice #EEEEEE if I wasn't so focused on keeping declarations to a lean 7 fucking lines." But my monitor is not perfect, nobodies is so why make stuff less well readable, I don't understand it. It annoys me to no end when I have to copy paste stuff into a text editor just to get a white background because someone decide a background should never be white and people seem to agree. If I want less contrast I'll tone down the background lighting of my screen.
- effie 11y agoThere are lots of people who are annoyed to no end that the background of most websites is white and their browser does not offer simple way to change that. Plugins like stylish help to both groups. Just set the background color to what you want in custom css style, cope with the broken graphics and enjoy the web.
- teekert 11y agoSo, when your background is too bright... why not reduce monitor brightness? The letters will stay as black as they are (hey its 2016), your background gets less bright. This has other advantages too. Why must a website creator choose how much (maximum) light my screen emits around the letters?
- Freaky 11y agoJust because I want a less bright background for reading text doesn't mean I want my monitor to be incapable of displaying a bright white - it's not only used for reading text.
- effie 11y agoI do reduce often, but this makes everything else on my desktop too dark so I can't read it. So I have a keyboard shortcuts that run xrandr --brightness <intensity> that I use frequently, but it is not the ideal solution for everyone. Better solution of this problem would be if websites detected brightness+contrast preference set up in browsers, like they detect language or browser window size, and changed their CSS accordingly. It would be great accessibility and UX improvement of the Web. We should make some standard for that and push it up into browser projects. Anybody experienced with such a task?
- fizixer 11y agoGrey text is one of the silliest trend I have seen. If you've changed the background from white to light-grey, that's enough. Stop changing text from black to dark-grey (especially the non-bold text)!
- jeffpersonified 11y agoThis is not a tend. For instance, finding pure black in fine art or elsewhere is next to impossible and if you do it's a modern trend (not the opposite).
- Dylan16807 11y agoBut this is text. Black ink.
- ams6110 11y agoLook at a printed book or magazine. The ink is dark. But it's not black.
- roywiggins 11y agoThe contrast ratio (how bright whites are to black) is the important thing, and the contrast ratio of printed text in sunlight is a lot greater than your average LCD.
- Dylan16807 11y agoNeither is 0,0,0 on your typical screen. Black is the goal in the case of printed text, and should be the goal on a screen too.
- seivan 11y agoI wouldn't call it a trend for a trend sake, it's much softer on the eyes, making it easier to read. But I would have preferred 1.25 line-height :)
- Ezhik 11y agoThis makes me think, is it possible to set that as the default stylesheet for pages that don't have CSS?
- 3pt14159 11y agoWhile I agree with most of this websites recommendations I thought this line ironically looked too long. echo "200 fucking characters long. Keep it to a nice 60-80 and users might actually read more " | wc -c I was right. 89
