Here's the helpful part: I'm finding it all but impossible to read the blue links on the green background because they have almost the same brightness. My suggestion would be to make that difference larger.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
Re: Linux Mint Index
How do I alter the color "difference"? Actually, if I can make changes I would go with white text.

Go here, and pick a different color. http://www.color-hex.com/popular-colors.php<html>

Re: Linux Mint Index
Ozo, since this is not your site (I think?) you can't change it. You can change your browser settings to show all text on pages in the colours you prefer; however, that is a lot of work for being able to read one site. As a quick workaround, try selecting the text and see if that helps.

Re: Linux Mint Index
Yes, Moem, that helped a great deal. It was mostly the titles which were blue text. Once I selected something the text was mostly readable with only some blue text. I had not proceeded past the title pages because I thought the rest would be blue. This makes the site much more usable. Thanks for the assist.
Edit: Selecting high contrast helps a little.

I guess I have some work on colors and cookies to do.Habitual wrote:Man, you are on fire!Jesse654 wrote:I'm guessing the "proper" solution is cookies remembering a user's choice of colors.
Re: Linux Mint Index
That's interesting you guys talking about the blue. Except for the cyan menu, the only blue is the default unvisited link color. At least that's what it is in my browser (Firefox). And purple is the default visited link color. Those I don't set. And for me, I can see those blue links really well--even with my poor eyes and a monitor that's starting to fade out (unless that's my eyes too ). Anyway beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Reminds me of the "blue and black or white and gold" discussion going around the Internet before.Ozo wrote:I can not read it from a distance. I am viewing on a 40" screen from my recliner and can not read the blue text without getting closer. The white on black text is fine but blue is a no go for me.

Re: Linux Mint Index
Yes, on Firefox, you get there with Edit | Preferences | Content | Colors. And your work-around is a good suggestion too; I've used that before.Moem wrote:Ozo, since this is not your site (I think?) you can't change it.

Also, sometimes your Desktop Environment provides a quick color change option. I was checking out the new Plasma 5.8 on LM 18 KDE recently and found:
System Settings | Desktop Behavior | Desktop Effects
Choose Invert (it’s right on the top), then press
Ctrl-Meta-u
on an application or website, and the colors get inverted. Might be helpful for some.
Re: Linux Mint Index
I'm happy to announce more than a dozen color themes are now available on my website. It was a boat load of work (like most projects), with one hurdle after another, but the end result is yours to enjoy.
Have fun with these themes. What's your favorite theme?

Re: Linux Mint Index
Now that is real improvement. The dark grey on light grey theme works well for me, it's easy to read. Good job!

Re: Linux Mint Index
That is perfect. Dark grey on Light grey and Black on White were the only two which eliminated the blue lettering problem for me but those two completely fixed it. Kudos

Re: Linux Mint Index
Updated LMI to reflect LM 13 Maya reaching EOL today. The first of the 5 year LTS releases to reach EOL, Maya was a wonderful OS.
In looking over the past releases page, I see a bountiful legacy of releases going back almost 11 years. Add to that the 7 (6 LM + LMDE) releases that are current today, and we see a long-standing, productive, useful product spanning more than a decade. Something of which Clem and everyone in the community should be proud.
If we counted all the past and current releases, including all the DE editions, 64- and 32-bit editions, OEM and no-codec editions, and Update Packs and refresh ISOs for LMDE, (not counting Betas/RCs) I think we have about 150, give or take, in total.
Wow.
Way to go, Clem & Team & Community!
