How do you like the new look? #112364 01/19/08 05:24 PM Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 1,832 San Diego, CA Santa Girl OP Elf VP OP Santa Girl Elf VP Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 1,832 San Diego, CA Just wondering what you think of the new look to Yulelog. I'd like to see darker colors the beige and grey color scheme seems harder to read.

Under the 'My Stuff' tab, select 'My Preferences'. Scroll down to 'Your preferred stylesheet' and then select 'ubbthreads-dark' it will change the scheme so the background is dark and the text is white. There is also a preview button that you can use to see what it will look like before you authorize the change. ~*~ Kansas City '15 ~*~

Heaven knows for an old timer like myself, whose computer skills lack lots, I am just amazed.

I don't like change - LOL I'm too lazy to learn. And for me it is much bigger, so don't know about the people who say it is smaller. Colors are fine and print is larger???? I don't like the new messages on the bottom....I keep reading the top ones and wonder why they aren't new....Also, how are you all getting those cute pictures under your names??? Arlene

Take a close look at the first couple of topics about the new board and you will learn many of the answers to your questions. Its not as bad as you think.

I copied the default style sheet, made most of the fonts larger and set it as the default spread style sheet. This should make the txt larger if you are using the default style sheet or select the one labeled with larger text. Not prepared to mess with the colors yet. I'm no artist and my color choices might now work well. (just ask my wife when it comes to me choosing my clothes!) Todd Comfort and Joy! Todd Ray - YuleLog Software - http://www.yulelog.com

It was kind of a shock at first, but it really helps make the type on the screen "pop". Plus, it kinda looks like dark chocolate! Karen W2 - Paradise - San Diego, USA!

Thanks from me, too, for enlarging the print. I do wish the newer posts were at the top (maybe because that's what I'm used to??), but at least the page opens on the next reply posted since I last looked. And I'm hoping my stock avatar works out for now. I'm longing for warm weather!! I'll take some time to use one of my own pictures for my avatar one of these days! Thanks for all the hard work involved in setting up the new board! Leigh

I'm real fond of using the back button and now I can get out of the members forums, then back in, or any where else more easily. Linda
