Color of body text

Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:10 am

I have macular degeneartion and cannot read your very interesting pages due to the fact that the body text comes out as a light grey.

Please give a text color option or make the text black like 90% of the trest of the WWW.


Thanks

Bryan

afaik the "raspite" theme used here uses the blackest of black text, on nearly the whitest of white background, for optimal contrast.

For a text in a message , the foreground color can be chosen.

This is a text with the blackest black selectable. (color=#000000)

This is a text with the most brightly red selectable (color=#FF0000)

you can't make changes to the forum theme, but you can change the theme used to "pro silver", in your board preferences, but I doubt it will help, it has less contrast than raspite, as it uses several shades of grayish blue for background.

Thanks for your reply.

I always use Chrome and that's where the problem arose - light grey text on white - unreadable.

I have now tried Opera and the page has black on white text and is clearly readable - problem solved.

Thanks

Bryan :P

Maybe go into Chrome's settings and change the theme back to 'Classic' ?
