Website activity dwindling

[quote=Cireon]That being said, I wanted to ask if there are any particular points in the interface you think need addressing if you think they're hard on the eyes. While making a whole separate theme is a lot of work, I am definitely happy to address pain points, and try to make them a bit better at the very least.[/quote] Thank you for the reply, Cireon. As for the eye-issue, I've noticed that dark, for instance pure black, backgrounds can be hard on the eyes. So for instance the (elegant) Blackish (#333?) color the site has in the header and footer and along the sides could perhaps be toned down to a lighter dark (#666?) or be made more opaque (70%?). Perhaps there could be an option for users to select the color of those parts if that kind of optionality is possible to implement in the theme. Also, I should add that I realized there are other strategy-minded game communities besides chess, where connections might be build: Go, Xiangqi, Shogi, etc.

I see what you mean. I'm afraid that if we make them lighter, the text will become harder to read, because the contrast is less. I tried #666 on the footer for example, and you can see it really doesn't help the readability: [img]https://i.gyazo.com/abf40b34388a84f761a1344e607ff9d7.png[/img] I can experiment with it though. Thanks for the clarification.

If you have Chrome, you can install the Styler extension and write your own CSS to override the site CSS.
