where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
I have switched http://leicarumors.com and http://photorumors.com to white color background. I would like to know what you think, since this may propagate to NikonRumors blog and forum. I know we are the "dark site" but every major website out there has a white background and all usability studies I read suggest white. The poll is currently split in half - 50% for white background and 50% for black.
Thanks in advance!
how about a very light grey like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1447095/moxy.png
I vote black!
While I don't usually like reversed-type sites, I've always actually liked the bright yellow-on-black theme used here. It's kind of like a black Nikon body--it looks "professional." Plus, the red 'NR' logo really pops on black. But the new white background looks good too! "Clean and airy."
I know what the readability studies say, but both versions look good, Admin. Due to typeface choice and leading dimensions, this site is easily readable to my eyes, while I find DPreview very tedious to read (I think because their leading is simply too tight). Or, perhaps, grey type on pure white might be a nice change of pace. I am biased in that I think neutral greys look "sophisticated" and modern (the interior walls in my house are either pure white, 18% grey, or made of T6061 aluminum). And perhaps the black here may be more reminiscent of a Nikon FM, than a "new generation of Nikons." But, just pick which one you like best!
My vote is for black.
Yeah I hate pure white backgrounds... and pure black is not good either.. if its a choice for black vs while I vote black. What about a less black black.
Yup, for NikonRumors, gotta keep the black.
thanks all, I may leave the other 2 site white and keep NR black
What about the places where we type in stuff.. Its tooo white ..
Naaa, you nailed it with the black background - don't change it!
Thanks for this forum btw, it's great.
I'm new to this forum but I like the black background with the yellow font.
Another vote for black.
I vote for black like it is now as well..
Stay black, it's more Nikonish.
+1 black
One more vote for black! I really like it.
I'm thinking baby blue.
a nice fuschia perhaps?
or maybe just stick with black.
Black, kept it must be...
Black.
White is a Canon ploy to become a pro. lol
I'll Vote.... Black background with the lighter letters with yellow accents... Very NIKON'ish
