I agree with PGWARE. Also Lime green looks nice. If the background is not white/monitor brightness set too high then visibilty is a problem. Else it is visible properly.

Actually I hate that Lime Green for remarks... I always change that. It is very hard to see on Laptop screens. Actually it can be very hard to see on other screens as well. It does not show up as well as you might think on different Video Cards. Anyway that is my 2 cents keep the change

Speak for yourself. Have you ever seen any of my example code?

It is bad if you cannot read it. If I view these pages on my laptop I will not be able to read the remarks at all. There will be a slight hint of a remark there but you would not be able to really see it very well. I never bothered asking Commercial Research to change that because I could just change it in the IDE. But since you are posting code to the forum with the same color scheme as the IDE I think you should change it so that people that have ancient equipment and cannot readily afford new equipment can still at least see what the heck that are going to download before downloading  It's just a thought ya know. I was always taught when programming for the internet you use the least common denominator for Web Site design.

Allright, I'll change that .
Also I suggest to change the remark color to orange  .

Color weakness (NOT BLINDNESS) for a primary color is not uncommon.
And also it's peronal prefernce etc etc.
How about having a poll on it

Look. I don't think it's that hard to read because I've used it on plenty
of LCD screens, CRT monitors, different video cards, if it's that hard to
read all you have to do is use the mouse to select the text so it is different
colors. The color was always Lime green before and no one complained
about it. I highly recommend against using orange or another color because
this is not something that should be custom tailored for everyone. It should
be using the standard syntax colors. If you want you can copy the code
into Notepad, your copy of VDS, etc. to read the comments. It's kind of
childish actually to see that we're fighting over a color.

For those of you who are so insistent, why don't you just use the [ COLOR ]
BBCode tag to change the color?

I would say, if you would really want to read certain comments and you are having
troubles with it, just use the link next to each script to download it...
Also I would recommend against using color or other tags in your scripts, as it isn't
supposed to work like that. After future updates this may no longer work. |

Um,
No one is fighting here. We all have our opinion. I do alot of my testing on an old 486 laptop it has a Non-ActiveMatrix 12 inch backlit LCD screen and 1 meg of Video memory that means at the max it can show 24bit color it also has only 20megs of ram on it. I usually only run this machine at 640x480 and 256 colors. Did you test the forum on a computer with these specs before Grant it I don't use this machine very often other than testing purposes but while I am waiting for my VDS scripts to run on this machine I read this forum. It gets boring waiting for a slow machine like this
Also I did not frequent this forum back when the VDS tag used to work so I have no idea what it was like and therefore did not get to complain. I am sure I would have if I was here Who wants to copy or highlight text from the forum all the time to read the forum?
Oh I almost forgot to add that I have to jar the LCD panel to get it to show up sometimes hehehehehe
My cellphone has a better LCD then this laptop but I use it because if my software and DLL's can run on this then it can run on just about anyones computer.

LOL, I have one of those, too! Only the LCD doesn't work at all so it has an ancient IBM 640x480 monitor
attached. It just stops short of emitting smoke

BTW: I'm one of the guys who always change that horrible lime green to something darker and more pleasant.
