I want black on black on black or pink on black on black. No exceptions.

No no...I would prefer only ASCII graphics...I don't even want my mouse to work. I would also like the screen to take turns with me when I push one of the arrow keys.

One of the most fun features of Opera is the user mode for rendering pages. Somehow I just really dig the "Nostalgia" 8-bit computer web-browsing experience. The text browser emulation works wonders on annoying design, too :).

Remember the pink Codex?
I'm disappointed. I didn't get to see a screenshot. I want the codex to be pink and white, and shiny. And it should look soft too. :oops:

Yes! Tentakuul! :D

With the word "codex" in the name, shouldn't the titlebar sport a book rather than a die? I like the background the best, it's the only thing that's better than the previous version.

About 8 meters beneath sea level.
Slightly less awfull colors and a les hectic design would do

As long as everybody is making suggestions. Can I have some images of furry's yiffing in the new rpgcodex logo? Naked manly barbarians would do as well.

Bad blinds, BAD BLINDS! Single-color backgrounds forever!

Seriously, it's not that bad, but those blinds are annoying.

Not specifically, although I do seem to remember that he had a hand in it in the first place.

Basically, that putting the 'role' back in RPG used to make me cringe.

What the fuck did it even mean?

It only seems so bright in comparison to the parents' basements in which we all reside. Outside is even brighter, or so I've heard.

I agree - the horizontal lines behind the news items on the front page makes it harder to read.
Other than that, I don't have any big problems (it's a bit brighter than my tastes but whatever floats your boats).

The old site was just plain ugly. Very ugly. The forums should be burned for still using it.

The new one isn't nearly as bad, though it could still use some color tweakings. A possible problem is that light grey is a very difficult color to work with, it makes bright colors appear brighter and dark colors appear darker. The black font even sort of blurs with the background.

One solution would be to darken the cell background color and then lighten the font and link color. The grey itself wouldn't have to be much darker. Perhaps if you eliminated the striped background image and just made it a solid grey, that would also help.

The new design is decent enough in my eyes. The red links could be brighter so they would be easier to read from gray background (like the black head lines are easy to read from white background), but other than that I can't come up with any complaints. Now will you convert forums to it too ?

The colors just don't work, guys. Maroon on grey/black is a sin.

I appreciate that you're not using my design anymore since I don't work here, but you need to work on the design more. I think the colors are fine, but you need to get rid of that awful plaid/striped background. It looks like someone took his granddad's pair of old pants, cut it up and pasted the cloth onto the website as a background.

How the fuck should I know? That was Saint's idea. I liked "No Spacebar" but nobody got that.

Gee, thanks. Funny how you never mentioned anything until now. Trying to suck up to the admins?

Didnt you get the message when first showed that design?

Well, here it is once more - "THERE ARE FUCKING GAPS ALLOVER THE PLACE". And, yeah, it is unreadable - that stripeful pattern is nice, but I didnt post anything in this thread sooner because...couldnt find it, damn!:P Its impossible to read those hot threads.

Plus, my fellow-larpers found that design pretty cool.They think desginer is true larper at heart.
