[Feedback requested] Atlas take two, who likes black?

[+chorpeac MVC]

Hey Tom, is there a target date for this update? I know you probably get this question all day, so I figure I would add to the mystery. :)

Maybe the black looks nice - unless you actually want to read the text displayed. I find it very hard and tiring on the eyes to have light text on dark background.

Therefore I hope we''ll have a choice.

You will. Read the thread.

Wantwantwant. Please before Christmas :D

The blue skin is brilliant, the black skin is not my taste. I don't like a black background for news-related sites, it just doesn't feel right.

Excerpt from a conversation on Neowin IRC:

<Neobond> neowin 6 isnt just a theme, its a complete overhaul, including moving to ipb3
<Blasius> yeah, its quite a leap
<Blasius> you guys are in store for some awesome stuff
<Blasius> lots of useful, innovative new features
<Mephistopheles> Can we hope for Neowin 6 as a christmas present?
<Neobond> i doubt it tbh.. but MAYBE for ces
<Neobond> in any case, people will be able to test it before it goes live
<Neobond> most likely subscribers only tho

[Phantom Helix]

[Crazysah]

Part of me adores the black interface, the other part adores the blue...

I'm emotionally torn :(

Yeah same here.

Eh? These match the current skin, they're a completely different shade of blue to that of Atlas.

I think they're in the Subscriber only subforum. I would presume so. If it's available to you to test check the drop down link at the base, and then PM someone about it, like Neobond.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

i checked yesterday and didnt see it in the dropdown, will check again

nope just checked the Subscriber only Forum, same themes as always in the dropdowns

black is pretty ugly imo needs to be brighter with more lighter gray if anything and hopefully can put full width support/option into it.

for the last time there will be NO full width option for the main page fixed width ONLY, the forums will still retain the standard auto width adjustment

Yes, it's screenshots only at the moment.

Looks trully great, though i prefer lighter interface.

Black lovers will certianly enjoy this :p

Well that's sucks then if can't even add an option for it like current has... I'd rather spend time reading then scrolling. ohwell. Guess we'll have to waste our own time and do it with stylish or something.
