I wanted to read the text on the page, but the styling, with the shadow, or the gloss, or whatever it is, it is giving my astigmatic eyes pain, so I couldn't, I'm sorry.
- sanderjd 12y agoHa, yeah, I thought my eyes were broken. Turns out it's using the `text-shadow` css property. Much more readable after I turned that off.
- marknadal 12y agosorry about that. IDK why but it makes it easier on my eyes, maybe I should do a survey (I'm probably just weird) and then fix it.
- evilduck 12y agotext-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #DDD; That 3rd number is a 7px blur radius starting from a 0,0 point and #DDD is light grey, blurring between solid black and solid white. I think you're just weird, very few people consider blurry text preferable.
- adambard 12y agoI definitely remember complaining about this exact thing a year ago :P. At least you toned down the shadow a bit.
- marknadal 12y agoawwwe you remember me! Happy face! For... being "that guy" that had blurry text. Shoot, sad face. Thanks for sticking around :).
- adambard 12y agoHeh, I remembered the project too, I was just reminded of the blurry text by the blurry text. If you find a high contrast hard on the eyes you could drop it a bit by just making the lettering a lighter grey in leiu of the drop shadow. Just don't overdo it or you'll get people complaining about that.
