This one is far too bright for me - there's so much white that it;s as dazzling as the other pale themes..

I like this one

By the time the vote comes, I won't remember which one is which!
Knowing my luck I'll vote by mistake for one of the Osama Bin Ladens Changing Caves makeover looks

 Well described Veggie    Can you imagine if we got that one permanently? I would be in the loony bin !

I don't think I'd be here very much Skylark.
Course that may inspire others to vote for them

Veggie, I think this mushroomy one is called 'Earth'

I had the earth theme on my personal bit on livecloud. I thought there was a bit mroe green in it then.

a lot of the blue ones look the same to me 

This isn;t blue?

I know tis grey but I've been onto the livecloud site and a lot of the blue ones and grey ones come to think of it look the same 

oooh...i thought you were going slightly mad for a minute there!

Best so far

I'm always mad Croc 

ahh,this one's ok !

We'll do the poll sometime next week... until then, enjoy the winter theme.

Come on Ted it's over a week now and still no poll?
Hope you're not one of them Lib Dems.

Don't hate it but ............it's rather busy isn't it?

When does it come to ans end? I like to feel that I'm coming home when I log on .........all this change is doing my head in a bit.

I like this, and prefer the really light blue background to the dazzling white which made me eyes go wonky. Don't like the wintery detail thingy though!

It's not like we really need it is it 

Agree. It's cold enough here without having it on the forum as well.

Some nice contrasts please  

In magnolia/gold. There's some tins in the cupboard.

I've missed most, if not all of the themes.

I'm not bothered what colour it is TBH........If people are put off from posting because of a colour affecting their eyes then that has to be addressed.

I'm easy

This is still dazzling, but I like the blue after the really insipid themes we've had.

I dont mind any of the light colours I dont like the busy background I prefer plain..

Oooh, now I'm on my laptop, I can see the borders down the sides, which didn't show up on my netbook.  I think the borders make  it much more interesting, and detract slightly from the brightness of the white parts of the screen.

This is good too, don't mind either way about the bits down the side tbh

I don;t see any blue...this is all white to me and too bright.

I lied i see the blue on the front page but not once in get into a thread....and the background that i see on my phone isn't visble on my pc

Croc, what size monitor do you have?
I think the smaller the monitor, the less 'down the sides stuff you see and the larger the monitor the more you will see.

A similar effect will occur if you have side panels open, like 'favourites' or 'history'.

I don't like the background...I can live without that

I quite like this wintery one - matches my bauble

Don't mind the lightness..................I just don't want the images to go with it

Images behind the text is another big no-no in Web design, I can't understand why they even contemplated going there. Unless, as I've suggested before, we are the guinea-pigs for some trainee web designers.

I don't think most people seem to see the images behind the text.  On all 4 computers I've been using since the themes changed, I can either only see the pictures down the sides of the text, or not at all.  I much prefer having the pictures at the sides because it seems to reduce the dazzling-ness of the white sections, and I think it looks nicer anyway.

Oooh, I take that back - I've just logged on with Google Chrome and now I can see the pattern behind the text.  I think it looks much better because it reduces the white spaces dramatically.

I don't see the pics behind the text....the only time is see them is on my phone when the page is loading.

I'm using FireFox and the 'behind the text' stuff is very clear. I'll just pop over to IE and see if I see it any differently. Back in a mo....

I'm on IE now and I'm not seeing any image behind the text, but I'm still seeing it when I switch back to FF. So it would seem that whoever is doing these themes has not bothered to make sure that they are coding them in a way that will be interpreted the same by all browsers.....another big boo-boo in web design!

How the hell can we have a proper vote on this if people are seeing them differently depending on which browser they are using and the size of their monitor.


Seems a bit amaturish, if you ask me.  




I'm going to try Chrome now.
