I don't get this contrast thing everyone is saying. My eyes are shit, and the "light grey on white" pops out fine. Any darker and it would be annoying. I really like the current color scheme.
My 'puter is a mac with retina screen - so maybe it's a monitor thing? Are there any "progressive desaturation" or "color calibration detection" tricks available to web devs in these situations?
- edwintorok 12y agoMaybe we just look at different parts of the UI when complaining about the contrast. The contrast for the search results is fine, the low-contrast is the 'The search engine that doesn't track you.', and the 3 buttons at the bottom. As I said in another comment the theme 'Dark' seems to fix all the contrast issues for me. How does that theme look on your monitor?
- bluthru 12y agoI agree. The text color is #595959, and that's quite far from the #ffffff background.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoI'm in the prime of my life, and I have issues with the color. That being said, I use a laptop - a combination of not the best monitor and reflections off the screen. In a dark room, it's fine. But I don't use the internet primarily in a dark room. It's customizable, so it's not the part of the redesign that I have the most issues with, but still.
- Holbein 12y agoMaybe your monitor is misconfigured to only show the middle part of the contrast range? Anything "pops" on such a screen. Can you see all the values in this gradient? http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/Calibration/monitor_gradient.htm http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/Calibration/monitor_gradi...
