Doesn't matter to me. I picked some of the basic pre-fab color schemes to pick from for now, I was trying to pick ones that would work on most monitors (old, new, cheap, expensive). We can customize later, but we probably shouldn't have something to start with that offends everyone….

That kind of stuff doesn't really matter to me, but gray is too boring for us.

True. There's a glow in the dark lime and a bright orange option too.

I agree, gray is dull dull dull.
While I like purple that one is ack. The teal is pretty nice without being overly bright, it would be easy on the eyes.

The teal shows up pretty well on my Mac. I may view it tomorrow on my laptop, the resolution isn't as good on that.

I ALWAYS pick teal. But that is my favorite color. the green is nice too. Calming.
the purple is to much, as I think orange would be too. Gray is boring and the black, I just dont like it.

I like the teal one, though I was kinda hoping for "hotdog red".

Also, can we change the default profile picture? The little egghead Buddha dude gives me the creeps.
NM: I just went to set up my profile and found the avatar edit tool.

LOL at the eggheads.
Go to the profile tab on the top menu bar, then click edit profile on the right side. It will give you several choices, including uploading your own, using a system default, or editing a system avatar (which is what I think Shirley did, PM her if you have questions on that task).
It looks like I can change the default avatar that is assigned when someone joins. Any ideas? Star maybe? Sun? Dollar sign? I agree, I think the egghead is kinda creepy too. I'll play with that task later this afternoon and report back.

For the life of me I couldn't figure out what you all were talking about with egghead buddha's. Then I looked back thru the posts and figured it out. To me he looks like an alien from Roswell, so the egghead didn't compute at all.

Either the teal or the gray for me. Choosing solely based on the 'easy on the eyes' criteria. We have a lot of ahem...middle aged members & easy on the eyes may be important. I belong to one forum which uses white on black background & it kills the eyes, so I find myself off of there sooner than I'd like just b/c it hurts to much to use it.
I love the purple, but it hurts to look at.

The egghead guy made more sense, once I tailored my avatar. He is the base head.

I should do to you guys what I used to do to a former employer. This was back in DOS days, and I worked with a bunch of construction auditors. Once I discovered how to change the colors on my log in screen, I'd change them daily to match my outfit (well not really match but I did chang them daily). Drove one of the auditors nuts.

It's the little things like that which make the day worthwhile. Oh, and I do like the teal, it is a nice soothing color.
