funkydude Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Did something change with the default font? It was fine before, now it seems blurry. John S. and remixedcat 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 uhhh never had any problems with themes or any of the settings in any browser I tried (IE8/9,Firefox stable/nightly,chrome,and even opera) so who was complaining??? and the default theme is too bright!!! ouch! I want my darkside to stay..... also segoeui sucks. it's very hard to read. I have candara for all my windows fonts even and it's so much easier to read. the numbers especially. I also use a dark windows theme and dark chrome theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted November 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've been a supporter of Pegasus since its incarnation, but add me to the list of those upset at the removal of darkside... Hopefully I misunderstood the OP and it will actually make a return soon. And for god's sake please don't tell me the forum themes will be removed when this "upgrade" makes its way there. P.S. I'd take blurry "welcome" text and darkside over clear "welcome" text and default Pegasus theme any day. remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just like the 1 or 2% of users that complained about the tab animations in firefox and it went away, it made it take up more P/F delta, was harder to move tabs around, and locked up other things on my computer. (just becuase it used 2-3% more CPU and broke obscure add-ons) OCCUPY NEOWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +Gary7 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xiphi Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Wonder what else is going to be removed when others complain about it. Segoe UI better not go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted November 22, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted November 22, 2011 (Y) I quite like the changes to the front page.

Eric Veteran Posted November 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2011 I had the forums and front page both set for Midnight and the FP is still using it. That's fine with me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted November 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2011 And here I thought I'd get complaints about the lack of rounded corners. Will use Segoe if you have it, will use Helv/Arial if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.J.P Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks for making the news a section I won't visit anymore. White background? your kidding.

nyolc8 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 No more font-settings? I have OSX Lion with Safari, and Segoe font looks bad and blurry (only on neowin) :/ Please bring back at least one more font (for example: arial or tahoma). :rolleyes: Fixed by installing "Segoe UI" fonts from Windows 7 into OSX. Now the fonts are all good. (I only had "light" version of segoe font in Lion, I think that was the problem.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I do not like the darker background on the front page at all. Pegasus with the lighter background was my favourite (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted November 22, 2011 Subscriber¹ Share Posted November 22, 2011 Looks like crap, far too bright for those of us with eye problems it literally glares now!

John S. Veteran Posted November 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2011 I can appreciate browser compatibility issues, but I can't read the bolded default font thread titles without squinting.

SecretAgentMan Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Now it all looks bad. :( A theme with a lighter shade of blue would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Fact is, that with the lovely options we had we were driving people away due to browsers crashing on Neowin. Now it could be down to add-ons and betas and alpha builds, but we need a site that works all the time, on all browsers. I can confirm that all my problems with Neowin on Google Chrome stable which were menus not displaying, bad fonts and choppy scrolling have now been fixed on the Main page with this update, just waiting for the Forums to be updated now as all those problems still persist on 'this computer' in the Forums.

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted November 22, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well the Front page for whatever reason does not look as bright today as it did yesterday. I just hope the Forum is left as is with a choice of themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Are you serious? Almost every website's content is on a white background. Exactly what I was thinking lol. If you can't handle a site with a white/light bg good luck using the internet... I understand that some people prefer dark themes, but the people posting that its "blinding" them are being extremely hyperbolic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2011 Using this in Stylish for now until there's an option to bring back font choices: html { font: 62.5%/1 Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif !important; } Titles don't look right but I forget what they were before. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
