I think background highlighting is ugly, and that red is ugly.
DT, PLEASE STOP CHANGING THE COLORS!

I, on the other hand, don't love those colors. I think the Elite color should not be changed, the Moderators color looks too similar to the Elite color, and the Administrators should have perhaps some alt code symbols to go with their name to better stand out. Otherwise that Admin color seems really plain.

I think we should bring back the spinning SC character titles from SENv3.

For those who were here back then, here's a reminder:
Staff = Hydra
Elite = Ghost
Member = Marine

But we'll change it with the addition of these new staff positions
Admin and Global Mod can take Guardian, BC, Carrier, or Arbiter
DLDB Keep and Tut Keep take SCV, Sci Vess, Queen, or Defiler
Mods can take Overlord, Scout, Dragoon, and whatever

We could even get each staff his own personal SC character

Elites can take whatever

Then all regular members will be Civilians!

how is that the same color? xD but yha I sorta see it, but your making it sound like its the exact color Lol

Admin Color: Notice how all the other people's colors' are different, so admin color really stands out xD " and plain? " xD Gold represents wealth. "ps: even though its tannish, but we cant really duplicate the real color of gold with words so that to me looks like a gold, like how Diablo use's ^_^ anywase yha.

and yes I agree about the alt code symbols ^_^

ADDITION:
Ok I did a brief ss edit! ^_^ I think the color's look vary noticeable and toleratable ...

To me it doesn't look gold. And I wouldn't even want gold fr Admins. I was thinking something along the lines of the last red they used with the .: :. in the name of the Administrator. When you have a bunch of darker colors and then you give the Admins a light color, it stands out. If you were to look at that screenshot, Moderators stand out more than any of the other ranks.

I like the currently colors. The admin's red freaks me out though. I was in the same topic as Minimoose was, looked at 'who is reading this topic', and saw my perdy green and Moose's red.. the contrast freaked me out. I was like 'DEMON! DEMON'. But, DTBK, if you're changing everyone's color, change the regular color too. We're bored with green. You have a new sexy color for yourself, makes people think of you as Lucifer or something like that, while we get a green that won't even fit in with a tree...

Suggestion 1
* Making Admin Bold + Bright = Definit stand out
* rest color's dark like DeVLiN Suggested great idea

This is what I came up with.

* remember you can change color's around Lol *

CODE

Admins = #48ff00
Moderators = #125700
Global Mod = #b7b234
Tut Keeper = #27768a
DLDB Keeper = #33278a
Elite = #ff0000

Suggestion 2
* Just like the Map Making Program
* Players 1-8 =]

This is what I came up with.

CODE

Admin = Red - Player 1
Moderators = Blue - Player 2
Global Mod = Teal - Player 3
Tut Keeper = Purple - Player 4
DLDB Keeper = Orange - Player 5
Elite = Yellow - Player 8
Regular = White - Player 7

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DevliN on 2006-10-06 at 17:47:47

Not bad, but you're forgetting one group: Members. Regulars can't have a white name because Members (the people who have less than 300 posts and don't moderate) have white names. And frankly I believe they should keep the white names.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by GTi on 2006-10-06 at 18:10:25

Bah, I had it all mix'd up LOl I was thinking Elite was Regulars, and Regulars were member's thats probably why, but yha I'll change regulars color thx ~ Dev~
Well I just added a new color for Regulars thanks to DeVLiN for my misunderstanding.

CODE

Admins - Elites = Same Code

Regular = #e75197

Members = White

ADDITION:
Reason why I chose Pink because It looks good, because if you ever played some games Pink was the color of Elite, but I wanted red as Elite, so I made Regulars Pink

could you change administrators to orange? maybe a slightly darker color. its just the red is kinda painful on the eyes.

and maybe switch DLDB keeper color with moderator color. then give global mods a dark purple? so that mods and global mods have more similiar color scheme.

I am totally behind returning a group icon in addition to the green bars, but it would be up to Moose to do something like this; you can't do it via the ACP without getting rid of the bars, which I think should stay.

1) Elite as red clashes and some of those are too dark.

2) Not enough conrast between DLDB Keeper and Elite.

Now let me give my general and in some ways final thoughts on the groups:

Administration: I hate this red too. Orange won't fit the color scheme, so I'm currently in the market as it were. The idea of a highlight attracts me, but every one I've tried has been pretty ugly, though I never thought that <span style="background-color:#0000BB; color:#DDDDDD">this</span> was all that bad.

Global Moderators: We've had this one for a while, and yet everyone seems apt to trash it. I think it is fine and I probably won't change it unless I really see something better.

Tutorial Keepers: At most I will darken this slightly to contrast more with Members. Otherwise, it works.

DLDB Keepers: No way I'm changing this one.

Moderators: Not changing this one unless I get a really good alternative; a personal hatred of tan is not a good reason for me to shuffle the colors yet again. Tan is a great contrast with the other colors, so in all likelihood, it stays.

Elites, Regulars, and Members: These will not change. Period.

Also, under no circumstances will a group get the colors pink, purple or red (excluding admins).

Admins need a nice cheerful light color

Btw how does everyone know the color scheme pad? I mean where can I find it?

And what about the "Moderators?" I was actually a big fan of IsolatedPurity's color scheme for Admins when it was the «- Name -» thing. The light blue used then was actually really nice. I don't particularly like the eye-bleedingly dark red used now.

I hate red. Admin is now.... Cornflower Blue, for those of us who enjoyed Fight Club.

If you're changing everyone except members (who don't deserve anything other then white) and regulars (who do), I'm against this. Revolution!

Not enough contrast with white, the color of regular members.

I actually like Cloud's choice of colors. It generally goes with the scheme, colors are distinguishable, and colors aren't ugly. Now if you improve regular color, they would be the perfect colors. And I think everyone can agree that his admin color doesn't hurt our eyes.

And to think - if you weren't so bent on change which won't even carry over to the imminent v5, you wouldn't even have to read all my annoying criticisms and complaints.

I agree, I really like Clouds choice of colors. The only thing I would probably change would be the admins, Maybe make them a little lighter due to the fact that they are close to the Tutorial Keepers, though you can see the difference already.

You should put a small image of a necktie next to each Administrator's name just to seal the deal. That will go realllly well with the cornflower blue color scheme.

Why are tutorial keepers now higher on the member scale (the order that they appear at the bottom of the page, I didn't know what else to call it) than DLDB keepers, whereas it used to be the other way around?

Because I'm screwing with your mind and alphabetical order.
