- corentin 19y agoDo you know what is the reason behind this color scheme? Maybe it's easier to read in crowded trading rooms?
- rwebb 19y agobloomberg doesn't like changing things because their biggest and best users are old men. changing the background would be a big dice roll.
- pg 19y agoNot being physically painful is more important than vague associations with Bloomberg. Also, use lighter fonts or more interline spacing.
- rwebb 19y agoadvice: taken we increased the line spacing, toned down some of the colors to make them easier on the eyes, and fixed the job board iframe headers. thanks for all the great feedback!
- dfranke 19y agoI don't like the color scheme but it's bearable. Do take Paul's advice, though, and at least double the interline spacing. Maybe also increase the font size by a point or two. People are going to want to skim through the category names, so underline them or put them in a different color than the surrounding text.
- aquateen 19y agoI think the color scheme is great, although when I try to read the links, my eyes do a magic-eye thing. Try spacing the items out, and put the vote/category/domain below the headline.
