I am pretty sure we use a fairly large
variety of displays. I have trouble believing
someone doesn't notice the difference.
I do not think it is enough contrast but
you could be right. What do
you think? You
really cannot
tell any
difference?
<LOL!>
Yep, I can just barely tell the difference, Gnudude! All that
black text you've scattered about in your post is just a teensy bit darker/bolder looking. I can see it if I try, but it's easy to not even notice.
I have a hard time believing that the contrast ratio on my system is that much better than average, but I suppose that could explain it. If I have any complaint about my system it's that dark colors tend to become a bit murky.
I'm running a very old MAG Innovision 17" flatscreen at 1280 x 1024, with an nVidia 8600 GT. I've got the gamma tweaked slightly upward in nVidia Settings. Contrast and brightness settings are each at 50%. I'm using the default prosilver style. The room I'm working in almost always has rather subdued lighting.
@Edbarx: Believe me, Ed, please! I'm not trying to be dismissive. I have vision problems, too, and there are times I cannot read
anything. It's just that I can see plenty of contrast here with the default style. Enough so I wonder if you were looking at my display you'd still be having as difficult a time with it? There has to be some explanation for the different experience we're having.
I'm glad the forum management will be setting up some more styles. It will hopefully let
everybody enjoy the forum again.
Peace,
