Good day, gentlefolk!
After using this forum for a while, I’ve noticed that the colour of the read and unread forum topics are very similar. Sometimes I have problems seeing the difference at first glance. Currently, the colour of unread topics is #222 and the read ones are #6F6F6F, as seen here:
I suggest that the colour of unread topics be changed to something more distinct, to eliminate any ambiguity. My first thought was to use the colour of this bar:
… which is #DFBE58. The unread topics then look like this:
However, I though that was a bit light and might be hard to read on the white background, so I lowered both R, G and B by 48 to get #AF8E28. This resulted in a deeper yellow which I personally find both pleasing and fitting with the current theme:
My suggestion is therefore to change the unread topics to #AF8E28.
NOTE: I’m aware of Octoshrimpy and Tomaco94’s Night theme. I am also aware that this (or something else) might become an official theme in due time. I am, however, very fond of the current light theme, and would like to keep it as an option and better it where possible.
I kept to a yellowish hue to stay close to the current theme, but it’s entirely possible something else would work better. I have no formal training in colour theory, sadly. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Oh, for the record, the css entry that would be changed is .topic-list a.title
