Deffo voting darker, even current phppbb.com looks better to me. https://www.phpbb.com/community/
Currently on here I feel the same, not enough of a colour difference between the background and the wrap, looks washed out to me.
Change background-color to f1f1f1?

Re: Change background-color to f1f1f1?
The background is probably a little too light in colour, the border could do with being a little darker as it is. But that might not be needed if the background colour was darker, border might stand out better then.
Personally speaking, now that they can do more with background to improve Prosilver theme, rather than just using one colour for it. I would have broken it up in two colours using a light blue top band and similar colour background to now below it, so background uses two different colours for better effect. Much like how XenForo do it now. Be a bit more creative to improve the default style more.
Having that darker different colour band at top sets the forum top header area off better.
That's what I wanted to do myself with the background, but you can't until those pop-up boxes are fixed.

To be honest, it's such a subtle difference I don't notice it much. I changed it to f1f1f1 in inspect element and while it looks "better", if somebody had of changed it on the site without saying I wouldn't even have notices 
The image background someone posted looks cool, but honestly, somebody could change the style themselves if they wanted it?

try this in your browser and let me know if it helps
Code: Select all
html, body {
color: #536482;
background-color: #F0F2F5;
}
#wrap {
background-color: #FFF;
border-color: #E2E4E9;
}

Yeah, it's better. I'm fine with that.hanakin wrote:try this in your browser and let me know if it helps
I'd prefer f1f1f1 of course - I'm used to seeing it next to white, as many other people who use YouTube.
