The new look

[Mazda Mender]

I prefer the look and feel of the original layout. The right angle edges to everything, well everything on the board. I prefer the smaller font too.
I will get used to the change if it's forced, but why does the original layout have to be removed? It's working with the two new ones at present.

OK, I give up, its OK the lighter style but I am now suffering from snow blindness , its a little bit bright, if it can be dumbed down a bit, maybe a little more blue or grey that would be good.

I have just tried the lighter side,.....My eyes are burning, it's like being snow blind, we need to talk AO otherwise it is going to cost sh*t loads in sunglasses and postage

Hey I like the lighter version. I guess it could be toned down a bit but definitely prefer it to the darker version.

The boards are the same just different colours, and so much easier to use once you get use to it

How does the lighter look burn peoples eyes out, but the original look doesnt :s

As for toning down, try turning the brightness/contrast down?

Because its not consistant with the new designs and so will add to the maintenance load even for the most trivial things. E.g when updating the cars a star picture its got to be done twice. One for the new looks, and again for the old look.

Imagine the time wasted if a much more complicated fix/feature needs to be added. Not to mention the addition time required to test and ensure two looks are working correctly.

can't the original stay. more choice ?

I have to agree with Andrey, more work is not a good idea, especially as we all run this site as a hobby in our spare time. At the end of the day none of us like change and new members will know no difference.
