Larian Studios Forums General About this website NwePostsIndicator

Dear Lynn and Rat,
Could you please, pretty please, change the colour of the new-posts indicator?

New posts

No new posts

Green New posts for easy identification.

Whats the difference between the yellow and the green one?? Or do you want to change the yellow into the green?

For easy id?
Me no comprendre.

Why do you want a 3the option DAD?

Yes, the white and yellow blend strongly when our eyes get tired after hours at the desktop.
I know that green colour carries more identity signals than any other colour that is why I suggested it for new posts’ indicator.

It would be also much better if the NO new posts lamp was dimmed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Don't understand what you meant with easy identification.

= New posts exist

= No new posts exist

What about Green for New posts, and Red for nowt!!

Red usually implies a warning or a stop light.
That is why I did not suggest it even though it is quite identifiable.

So no 3 indicators.
You just sugest a colour change?

YES. Please. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Green is for Go
Red is for STOP.
makes sense to me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I never had a problem with yellow/white.
But I understand where you're comming from.
Nice idea...

A change would be like a breath of fresh air <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Green looks better than I thought it would, but it kind of clashes with the colour scheme.
The no-new-posts icon on the left is RGB 244/244/244, rather than white; could be a little darker, but I think dark grey is a bit too dark.

raze you clever devil, give the red a go ,go on just for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Don't bother posting a red bulb, or anything; I'll do all the work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
My artistic abilities starting from scratch are close to nil (I briefly tried colouring the green bulb.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> ), but fortunately I remembered a graphics program I have has a colourize function. I didn't tweak it enough for it to turn out great, but this will give you an idea;

ah.

I like Green, Red, and yellow.

whats yellow for? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

My preference:

No new posts exist
New posts exist

Any clearly distinguishable colours would do for me.
My problem is that after long hours of gazing at the screen I cannot tell white from yellow.
It is really that simple.

well, afte rhours of other things, I come back, and look at the screen and can't see [nocando]! its all the same for me, wiat till later today.
